Hi everyone.
I'm just checking in to say I'm currently in St Cloud, Minnesota. The boat's holding in and I hope to be in Minneapolis within the week. After that I hope to have some time and opportunity for a bit more posting here -- I'm taking a break to Indianapolis for a Thanksgiving family reunion.

Hi Kevin,
Today the wind was so brisk and cold. We were shopping and I looked at sleeping bags good for down to 10 degrees. I wondered if yours is warm enough. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and I hope you are warm.

This is Sharon, from Banfill Locke, wondering if you made it through the locks, and met up with your contacts???
Marlene: my sleeping bag is rated to about 5 degrees, although it does seem to feel cold before that!
Sharon: thank you for checking up on me. I made it through the locks fine and got in touch with my contacts late yesterday afternoon.
I have been holding off on publishing a "Minneapolis" post because I am not going to be able to do any more canoeing this season. Blocks of ice covered all my stuff and half my clothes yesterday, and I was hypothermic by the time I staggered into the University of Minnesota. It was a good thing I had a warm place to spend the night.
But even more than that, I am committed to seeing the family for Thanksgiving, and locks 1-5 are closing December 1, with locks 6-10 closing December 8. It is not possible to make that schedule.
So, I am wintering in Minnesota and trying to figure out what that means to me.
