Mushroom Hunt

Got an early start on my walk this morning before the heat gets too uncomfortable.  Started at the Hennepin Avenue Bridge.  Party under the bridge last night.  Beer cans and other trash.  Check.  Continue on past Mill Ruins Park and down to the lower lock and damn.  I have not picked up trash down by the lower lock and dam before so there was plenty of stuff waiting.  I found several patches of interesting looking mushrooms. Leave those be!  The usual litter of plastic water bottles and discarded packaging along the road and hillside were just waiting to get blown into the river.  I picked up two Starbuck Frappaccino bottles and one of those plastic bottles of 5 Hour Energy.  (You people should have had enough energy to pick up everything in the area.)

Some other variety of mushroom
