On the Road Friday

Today we are heading for a river walk.
Our adventure will take us to the Elk River located in Price County, Wisconsin.
 The Elk River is a fast moving river, it does not usually freeze in the winter. It is full of beautiful rapids and slow bends.
 Two exploring boys and one exploring dog. I wonder what kind of treasure they found.
 Frozen river foam. Cool stuff!
 Ice, we found chunks of ice. 
Look at the smiles, you would have thought they found gold! :)
 Beauty in winter.
Have a great weekend!
Thank you for coming along on our adventure along the shores of the Elk River.

Camp Elk River, in the Winter

We are blessed to have a camp site on the Elk River in Price County, Wisconsin. We have a great time camping in the summer and fall. The Elk River is very rocky, you can not canoe or raft, unless you have high water. You can fish, but you may get snagged on a rock. You also can River walk along the rocks, the goal being you jump from rock to rock so you don't get wet.
But this summer, the Elk was high, very high. The amount of summer rain, gave the river a new look that we have not seen in many years. We had the opportunity to raft, fish and swim.

Now the camp is a sleep, resting from another summer of little boys exploring the river shore, finding frogs and other boy treasure(sticks, rocks and bugs).
The river is not completely a sleep. It continues to move, not letting the cold of winter freeze it 100%. 


The River...always changing, yet the same.
