Along the St Croix 2007

Along the banks of the beautiful St. Croix (Holy Cross) River, separating Minnesota from Wisconsin north of the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. Taken just north of Taylors Falls, Minnesota with a view of St. Croix Falls, Wisconsin. The St. Croix is a tributary of the Mississippi River and joins the larger waterway at the Twin Cities. We vacationed in the area in June 2007.

And at that time up until 100 million years ago the area was the shoreline of a tropical sea.Just think Wisconsin once had tropical storms and hurricanes!

Most of the rocks here are over 1 billion years old and are volcanic!In fact right in St.Croix Falls Wisconsin and all over the area are the old eroded rocky hills and mounds that were once stratovolcanoes(very high volcanoes like Mt.Rainier)!

The St.Croix River also runs along in the middle of the old fault line and rift system of the Mid-Continental Rift when 1 billion years ago North America nearly split in half!But it hasnt been active for 400 million years!
