Just a reminder that this weekend is the Annual
Stone Arch Slalom Race under the Stone Arch Bridge on the
Mississippi River in downtown Minneapolis.
Allan Faust, Jeff Bolte, Jimmy Johta and Dean Riene have been working on
a short course of gates, starting at the river left beach and under and
between the pillers of the bridge. The water level is decreasing. If we
get lots more rain upstream, these plans could change
