November’s Roar Dale Bohlke |

About
November is typically a dry, dark month but this year rain was the predominant feature resulting in waterfall flowage similar to late spring or early summer. The color was minimal but nonetheless the water was impressive. Filmed with an iPhone6 and edited in FCPX. |

About
Published on Jul 19, 2013 On July 18, 2013 I rode my bike to Minneopa State Park near Mankato, MN. I was stunned to find the waters of Minneopa creek were nearly as green as the surrounding greenery. For many years the DNR has posted a warning sign about high levels of e-coli in the water. I believe it's time something is done about the pollution sources, mainly agricultural, that are tainting the creek. People from all over Minnesota and the country stop by to visit the falls, and this is what they see. We shouldn't stand for that. If you want to see this fixed once and for all, contact your State legislator and voice your concern. Share this video with them so they can see for themselves what tourists are seeing when they visit what should be a jewel of the State Park system. |
