We had this afternoon off to do some more tourist stuff. We decided to go with a group of people to the Cajun Country Swamp Tour (the owner said he worked in Cloquet for two years long ago). We had a young guide (son of the owner) who grew up in this area and was very knowledgeable. It was a warm (low 60’s) and sunny day. Perfect for this activity! There were 12 of us in an aluminum skiff with a very quiet outboard motor. Here are a few pictures:
Our guide and some of our fellow volunteers.
Some of the many birds (Heron and Ibis). Note the black bird drying his wings.
Just some of the beautiful scenery. The water was like glass here.
We came home exhausted but ready to go to dinner with the group that we came with from Hennepin Methodist Church. We went to a nice restaurant in Franklin where we all had great meals – lots of good seafood. There were about 18 people in the group.
Question for the day based on what we saw on our tour – what is a Cypress Knee??
