Free Bike

Out walking yesterday on a beautiful afternoon with camera and trash bags. This bike along the river won't fit in my Target bag and anyway it's on the other side of a fence that is technically government property managed by the Upper St Anthony Falls Lock and Dam and the Army Corp of Engineers. There is a strip of land behind their fence that is desperate for a spring cleaning.  I think I'll call them next week. I walked up river to my usual spot along the river that is easier to access.  I've just about finished cleaning up a stretch that is about 100 feet long.  While I was there three young guys were sitting on the steps.  One of the guys was recounting his story of heroism.  He was walking by one day and there was a guy floating in the river just off shore.  There was no choice but just to jump in.  He thought he was dead for sure. By the time he got him back to shore the police were already there.  That guy was extremely drunk but not dead.  He would have eventually floated over the falls and that would have been the end of him.
