Thanks

You guys are really very lucky to be moving into one of the most beautiful areas in the country -- it is known as "bluff country". Rushford is about 10 miles south of I90 -- it is a real nice, small town with plenty of new homes. Perhaps the prettiest town around there is a small town called Lanesboro -- check it out. All sorts of canoeing and bike paths. Perhaps the most convenient town would be Chatfield. It is closer to Rochester than LaCrosse but very close to I90.

You have been blessed -- really nice area. However, live in Minnesota -- lower taxes than Wisconsin.

Hi everybody!
My roommate and I are planning on kayaking the whole Mississippi River in the beginning of May through the end of July. We will be starting in Winona, but the problem we are facing is that the closest airport is in Rochester. Therefore we will need a ride getting to Winona from Rochester. If anyone can help us begin our adventure of a life time, please contact me either by email Teowen@eagle.fgcu.edu or by phone (239) 821-7568
Any help would be greatly appreciated, and we will most certainty cover any expenses it may cost for you to do us this favor. Thanks again, and I look forward to talking to you and giving you additional details.
