North by Northwest

This weekend I had a chance to watch see what kind of outdoor sports folks around here like to do. I wasn’t planning to stop at Lake Calhoun, but when I saw all the kites I decided to see what was going on. Here I found a bunch of people snowkiting or kiteskiing/boarding or whatever they call it these days plus even more spectators and joggers. Several groups were on site giving lessons and renting equipment. Lake Calhoun is located just southwest of downtown Minneapolis. Apparently, motorized vehicles are prohibited on this lake.

This dog was getting a lot of extra exercise pulling the skier.
