ran into Bob Talbert once while floating down the rouge ... he seemed rather surprised as he was just feeding the ducks in his backyard and then we floated by. This was in Beverly Hills south of 13 and east of Lahser. He lived in Soupy Sales old house.

The tricky part of that branch of the Rouge was at 696. The river dips into a couple of caged culverts as it travels under the xway. That portage is a little tough. South of 696 it is really peaceful and kind of strange becuase it almost follows telegraph rd.
