Robbie
Monk is a junior in the Advanced Ecology class at Benilde-St.
Margaret's in St. Louis Park, MN. While on the trip, Robbie says,
"Seeing the variety of daily travels I thought it interesting
to find similarities in each on the basis of the river as the common
element. To find how the river effects each and how each effect the
river in turn. Also, with the flooding this year, I may try to incorporate
how the different things are effected by flooding, and how things
change." |
