Road trip to Tower Rock

Tower Rock
When did you last take a trip just for fun?  This past week David & I took a short road trip to Tower Rock.  This giant rock formation/island towers above the mighty Mississippi River.  Normally the Mississippi River surrounds the rock island and it is accessible by boat only. This year we’ve heard that people are able to walk to Tower Rock because the river levels have dropped so low.   Thursday afternoon we drove to Tower Rock for the first time.  It is an impressive rock formation and we watched a man wading across the shallow water of the mighty Mississippi River to Tower Rock.  I didn’t try it because I forgot to take wading shoes.  Does that sound like a good excuse? 

We enjoyed our two hour road trip; it was a beautiful sunny day.  I found it relaxing to go for a ride.  Is it time you took a relaxing road trip just for fun?  Be safe and enjoy.
