#OnThisDay Jun 13 1886: A four mile long logjam blocks the St. Croix River at Taylor's Falls MN. It becomes a major tourist attraction, with special trains put on to carry 1000s of spectators a day. After being broken up in late July, cleanup continues until September.
Before it flows into the Mississippi River, the St. Croix River forms part of the Minnesota-Wisconsin border. A little north of Stillwater, Minn., the river gets noticeably wilder, is easily accessible by small boats, and it's pretty great. #BirdOfTheDay #BirdsInTheirElement #photography
