Man drowns in Black River on north side of La Crosse
An apparent drowning on the Black River in north La Crosse this weekend.

He was supposed to meet up with someone that day. Did he have items on him when pulled? He has a backpack and sleeping bag. If anyone has any of his items I would love to have them.
Something from the day. ?
