Bluff country

Before the chilling temperatures hit Minnesota, Jason and I took a little day trip to Red Wing.  The small town, about an hour south of our house, is known for a barn shaped bluff that sits in the middle of town.
Most of the metro area is pretty flat, no real hills to speak off.  Once you venture out, corn and soybean fields fill the landscape until you get far enough south to see what Minnesotans call, 'bluff country' - which is a nice touristy name for rock covered hills.

We decided to hike up the 400 ft bluff, fortunately it's a pretty easy hike.  We took some great pictures once on top of the city and of the Mississippi River below.Parts of NY have bluffs like this so it was a nice reminder of home.
