Cedar Side Walking Trail, Rice Lake, WI



Oooh, Bridges...My Favorite!

I took these photos the last day of April, when we took a walk on what I just learned is the Cedar Side Walking Trail in Rice Lake, WI. I'm not sure how I missed that. All my photos are tagged with 'Red Cedar Trail,' which happens to be in Menomonie, not Rice Lake, and which one should not confuse with Cedar Side Walking Trail. Both are along the beautiful Red Cedar River, by the way. Anyway, it was a lovely spring day, before the mosquito season arrived.


Along the Trail


We often see women from UWBC (University of Wisconsin Barron County) walking two by two, visiting as they walk briskly along the trail. Mr. C. calls them 'Walkie Talkies.' Mr. C. and I are more like 'Walkie Thinkies.'

 It's even more beautiful, now that the trees have leafed out.

    Good morning, Judy! Lovely scenic shots of the river and trail. I guess my hubby would be the walkie talkie and I am the walkie thinkie. Thanks for taking me along on your walk. Have a happy day!

    I like the idea of you and Mr. C being "walkie thinkies." :)

    I love either one, walkie talkie or walkie thinky and even walkie looky. I love the bridge shots, with all those LINES.. great photos and beautiful place to do any walking at all or even sitting.

    Lovely views! What a place to be a Walkie Thinkie, it reminds me of being in Marine on St. Croix! I love walking that area too, but I'd rather be a Walkie Thinkie than a Walkie Talkie there! Love those terms.

    I bet it's just as beautiful in the winter also. Always better without mosquitoes.

    What a lovely place for a walk. Goegeous photos. I would be a "walkie-thinkie-clickie" but I'd rather be alone. It ia great way for me get my quiet time in and snap a few pics along the way :)

    That is certainly a pretty place to walk! Love Mr. C's description of the ladies...and your description of the two of you. :) I am not sure what my husband and I would be. It would probably depend on the day.

    That is a beautiful place! I would be the walking thinker and my husband would be sure the walking talkie. Which he proves on each walk we go on. No matter if it is down the street or the most peaceful nature trail!

    I love it- walkie talkies and walkie thinkies. My sister and I fit in that first category. Beautiful place, and sorry about that mosquito season..we are right in the middle of that and it's awful.

    Hi,
    I like that, Walkie Thinkies. :-))
    We enjoy walking the trail too. I think they plan to expand to the North. What I like so much about it, is you do not need to worry about getting run over by a car. ;-)
    Molly our Boston Terrier loves the trail too, new smells! LOL

    What a lovely place to walk. I am more of a walkie thinkie too. If I tried to walk and talk at the same time I would probably trip over my own feet and hit the pavement. LOL xo Laura

    I'm a walkie-stumbler sometimes....LOL I got a real kick out of the walkie-talkies, and walkie-thinkies. Thanks for that laugh.

    Before the mosquitoes...point well taken. My own yard is pretty mosquito clear, but walks elsewhere...ai yo yi. I'm wearing lemon balm or, if all else fails, Icy Hot. Kills two birds with one stone. I like the description of the walkie talkies...made us laugh.
