THE TOUR
The Caramel Roll Day has been an annual event on the Wobegon Trail but all evidence of the ride for 2025 has been deleted. So we are making our own ride.
From Albany, we will leave on the trail to the west but shortly turn north to Holdingford and the covered bridge. Riders can then stop and stay at the BoHo Cafe.
Some of us will continue on the Soo Line Trail to Bowlus and Blanchard Dam over the Mighty Mississippi River - another 8 miles RT. Read more about the Dam here. Blanchard Dam is the tallest dam on the Mississippi River at 47 feet of water.
NOTE: The Soo Line recreational trail crosses the river on a bridge located about 75 yards from the dam. The bridge is suspended about 100 ft above the Mississippi River. The original bridge remains and not been rebuilt since its use by the Soo Line Railroad. Here's a video showing the bridge.
But what about caramel rolls?? Well, we have bakers in our group and we will have rolls and coffee cake for sure. If you wish to contribute your favorite baked goods, let Kathy know.
