#Minnesota #MNastodon #DOFLMN25 This is still one of my favorite local events, even though my spouse is no longer around to enjoy with me and I don’t have time to volunteer this year. But off to grab breakfast at Butter Bakery shortly and help support great local orgs working with folks w/ HIV/AIDS! https://diningoutforlifemn.org/

Bicycled the Root River Trail today. Spring is showing up in patches.

Peterson bathrooms--not open.

Whalan Train Depot was open and chatted with the owner for a bit and got a couple of things.

Had lunch at Pedal Pushers Cafe in Lanesboro. Many more stores are open there now. Stopped at a bike shop and got accessories.

1 bunny, 3 squirrels, 1 chipmunk.

22 bicyclists. 6 walkers.
