Riding the waves in a different way

Local kayakers are taking advantage of the fast, high waters of the St. Louis River during spring runoff too. Esko High School students Karsten Fetters and Baylor Litsey put their kayaks in just past the Highway 210 bridge for a thrilling Tuesday afternoon adventure, after kayaking from Scanlon to the reservoir first with four other friends. “It was a little chilly,” said Fetters, with a big smile. Thank goodness their buddy Andy Stingle (also pictured) was there to pick them up.
