I am just going to throw it out there. I could spend every day at the Brownsville Overlook along the picturesque Mississippi River watching the wildlife. My favorite time of the year is fall, when the Tundra Swans and Trumpeter Swans arrive for their annual visit. If you have not been, I highly recommend you take a trip to Brownsville around the early part or middle of November.

Watching them dive underwater and fly through the air is so much fun. It is truly an unscripted ballet. The dance is never the same.

It is totally worth your time to take a peek through the mounted viewers at the Brownsville Overlook, plus it does not cost you anything to use them.
Dinner Time or is it Supper Time?
End your day with a “damn good” hamburger and the best French fries west of the Mississippi at Shellhorn Bar and Grill. You might even run into an acquaintance like Tony, and I did.
