Starting a new virtual tour

I have moved to the inside trainer because the fall air is too cool to breathe comfortably.  I hope that a virtual tour will get me pedaling more.  The month of October was smaller than my earlier months.

Over the spring, summer  and fall months of May  through October I did cycle 3,100 miles which is enough to travel the Continental Divide Trail from Jasper to Antelope Wells.

For this new virtual tour I will start on the Wisconsin and Minnesota state line at Osceola and head west along the Northern Tier.  

Downtown Osceola, Wisconsin. A good place to stock up with what you need.

Cascade Falls just outside Osceola's downtown on the Osceola Creek near the millpond. The falls are 25' high.

The St. Croix River is the border for Wisconsin and Minnesota.

The river is a tributary of the Mississippi River. The St. Croix is a designated National Scenic  Riverway and is 169 miles long.  Further down the road I arrived in the town of St. Croix Falls.

St. Croix Falls is a town of over 2000.

The Ice Age hiking and backpacking National Scenic Trail stretching over 1200 miles through Wisconsin. ends in the area.  

Going out of town I got on the Gandy Dancer Trail.

This 98 mile multi-use path was a railway. A gandy dancer was a slang for the a railroad builder and maintenance worker.  During work they would sing to help them work together.  The Gandy Company out of Chicago made railroad materials.
