Big Muddy Valley

This is a shot facing north that was taken 40 miles East of my farm. It shows the valley formed by the Big Muddy River. 10,000 years ago, before the last glacier pushed down from Canada, this area was drained through this valley and into the Hudson Bay. The glacier pushed an earthen bench that plugged the drainage and formed a large lake upstream.
