Episode 6: “Lutefisk Express”

Alas, all great rides must come to an end but not before a very humiliating fishing venture, a royal smorgasbord, an honest to goodness diner, a new tattoo to commemorate the trip, and some stinky fish. Oh, and the scenery is really nice. You should see this place.

In fact, while I do penance on a treadmill for a while, you should get out and see this entire river, from end to end.
