Red Wing from Barn Bluff...
Barn
Bluff vigilantly watches over Downtown Red Wing
immediately from the east. This means the bluff casts
a shadow every morning and says goodbye to the sun
every day. The bluff is a long and narrow rock and
the length of the bluff runs east and west for about
a mile. It is an easy hike along the south side to
the lookout over Downtown Red Wing. The top of the
bluff is about 400 feet above the Mississippi River
(immediately to the right in the above photo).
There was an unusual thaw this February and that
opportunity was leveraged to get this photo. Once the
tree buds start popping out, the details become
hidden. If you look closely, our shop is the small
triangle of lights in the upper left corner.
As with most mid-winter thaws, it toyed with our
emotions, giving us a taste of nicer weather, only to
slap us with a cold front and a dump of snow.
Back to muc-lucs and stocking caps.
