Pigeon Creek

Fascinating. I spent part of my childhood close to Pigeon Creek and once walked its bed from its mouth at the Milwaukee River to its sources above Hawthorne Road, springs in a meadow. as I recall. I knew, still know, stretches of it well from fishing, seining, and spearing in the 1970s and -80s.
In spring 1983, when snow melt had raised the creek to about as high as it ever gets, flooding the neighboring woods and part of downtown Thiensville, I put in a two-man rubber raft at the Highland Road bridge and floated, paddled, and dragged down to the Seminary pond (recently removed). A light snow was falling on a gloomy day, but it was fun. I saw the creek and the woods from a perspective that I had not enjoyed before or since.

Thanks for writing up your ride.
