Google-Hosted Meet-Up: Mississippi National River & Recreation Area

[MegS]

Hello! For those of you who may not already know me, I'm Meg, a Local Guides community manager based in New York.

I'll be hosting the meet-up at the Mississippi National River & Recreation Area on Wednesday, August 24. I'm starting this thread so those who are attending (and received a confirmation email) can connect with one another in advance of the meet-up.

I look forward to meeting you!

I'm looking forward to it! My kids did music classes at MacPhail, which is nearby, so I have explored the trail system but not the lock & dam. Audrey, 8, and Henry, 5, will be joining me for a little local education.

I'm very excited and looking forward to this great event. I love biking on the trails along the Mississippi but never had the opportunity to tour this place. Special thanks to Meg for hosting. See you guys on Wednesday.

Can't wait to meet everyone. I'm newer to the Twin Cities area so excited for this tour

So I'm reading two emails, one directs me to the Lock and Dam across from St Anthony Main, the other is saying the park in St Paul. Which is correct?

@GlenA The lock and dam is in the Mississippi National River & Recreation Area and is part of a larger national park that spans miles. We didn't give the meet-up location (or time) on this thread (same goes for all other Google-hosted meet-ups) because we share that information only with attendees who received a confirmation email.

Both emails have the same information — please meet us at the location specified (and linked) in the original email. If you need further assistance, please reply to that email; I'll be happy to share more details there.

Thanks.

See you all soon! 🙂

Great event!  If anyone wants to share a copy of the group photo we did at the end, please let me know!  I didn't get my phone into the set of them that were used... 🙂  Did you all end up going for some food/drink after?  Hope you enjoyed!

Thank you to everyone who joined! What history — who knew Minneapolis and St. Paul had something of a sibling rivalry?  😉

I've added my photos to an album — feel free to add yours too.

Thanks again for a terrific time!
