The Saturday outing to the Potholes

Last Saturday we went to the Interstate State Park. Yes, that is not a typo.  It is a state park that sits right between Wisconsin and Minnesota on the St. Croix River.  So we drove an hour and a half to the park. The reason we went was to see the Glacial potholes. These potholes were made when the The Glacial St. Croix River carved a series of terraces along its banks. Sand and gravel were occasionally caught in eddies or whirlpools and were swirled around with such force that they drilled holes straight down into the rock. Larger rocks caught in the spin would polish the shafts smooth.

^{That was from the internet because I couldn't think of a good way to describe it.  We hiked around, saw some beautiful views from the cliffs and even saw two very strapping young men in speedos who thought they were going to go cliff diving.  But alas they were caught by the ranger and we didn't even get a picture of them!!  Amanda and I thought they were both quite built!
After we explored the potholes, we went on a 3 mile hike.  Josh was amazing.  He loved it and practically ran the entire way.  He is a good hiker.  On the way home it was McDonalds ice cream cones and fries.  So it was a good day.}

^{That night Bryon and I went to see the Bourne Legacy and really liked it.  I liked it better than the other Bourne movies because it was alot more mental intrigue than killing.  Don't get me wrong, people still died but it wasn't as much of a slaughter.  It was a good movie.}
