On the morning of September 11, while still in Western Minnesota, I decided not to go any further West but to begin my travel back in a Southeast direction towards home. I decided to reconnect with the Mississippi River, and Pilot Knob S.P. was the halfway point to stop and stay the night.
This observation tower was built by the CCC in 1934.
The structure is only 30 feet tall, but it's up upon a hill, which gives you over 1,400 feet of view of everything around you.
The next morning before moving on, we took a 3.3-mile hike on the Equestrian Trail that connected with the East-West Trail. The issue hikers will have to deal with when hiking trails we share with horses is the occasional stepping over horse manure.
