Finally, signs of Winter creeping out and Spring trying to elbow it's way into Wisconsin! This is the St. Croix River that is close to my home. This river leads to the St. Croix Falls Dam which then leads to Stillwater, Minnesota. Way back when I was in High School, the boys in my class would go down to the river and go "ice berging", meaning they would have a contest to see who could make it across the river from Wisconsin to Minnesota by jumping from berg to berg without falling in (when the bergs are bigger, of course). I would assume that the biggest winner would be able to make his way across and back again without getting wet (or drowning)! I guess that's the kind of stuff we did for fun in a tiny town back in the 80's... before everyone had a car, cell phones or computers! Man, those were the days!!
