   Hey all,

As it was in the mid-80's and our boats are long since put up for the year, Mrs WakeSlayer and myself hopped on the hog and took a road trip through the river valleys in southeastern MN on Sunday and Monday. 88 years ago, Ralph Samuelson invented waterskiing here.

This is a shot of Lake Pepin.

And Lake City, MN

	Love that drive, would be even better on a bike. Thanks for the pics.

	Mike, I was out on Pepin on a friends sailboat all Sunday afternoon, no wind at all but a beautiful day to be on the water just the same.
