Half a mile from launch, I came upon a male Bald Eagle perched in a tree on the left bank. Once I was within 200 feet, he took off and flew directly over me, his beating wings so strong I could feel the air move over my head!

Mississippi River 8/14/2018 - 10:00 am
I drove with Nik to my starting point of River Bluff Regional Park, just south of St. Cloud. After loading my boat, I pushed off and waved goodbye to Nik and told him I'd see him on Thursday. The weather was cool and cloudy with a gentle breeze blowing from the west. With a river current of 1 mph, I dipped my paddle into the water and started my way down river.
