A bench at the end of an island in the Mississippi

It's been pretty hot the last few days. It's been a hot month and it's kept me home bound a bit more than I like. Today was nice enough to get out and walk in a shaded area. I decided to take a hike around Pike Island, one of the main attractions at Fort Snelling State Park. There is a bench with a great view at the tip of the island. In the distance, the 35E bridge over the Mississippi River. It's a great place to stop and watch the boats go by, even on a fairly hot day.



August is nearly done. Schools have begun to educate the children again. The State Fair is in full swing. The US Open Tennis tournament has begun in New York. And Unky Herb is still in Chengdu, China. No ransom notes yet.

Benches .... good theme. They often have nice views, and a bench with a view of a bridge looks like a nice spot. And under a tree, no less.
