Weeks of 4/13 and 4/20


The snow from 4/10 had just about melted away before a fresh 10 inches fell on 4/25. Let's just say that we need the moisture, and that snowfall in late April is "unique", and "memorable". The wild weather has had very little effect on the quantity, quality, or enthusiasm of the visiting groups over the past few weeks, and spring birds and buds are returning despite the challenges. Baxter Elementary, Sauk Rapids-Rice, the U of M Hydrologists, and the Quilters Basket folks all enjoyed their visits to Deep Portage. The photo above is from the Sauk Rapids-Rice Middle School visit, and shows Deep Portage Educator Clare Croteau and some of her fine students getting ready to embark on the day's activities. We love to see those smiles!
