Yesterday we set off on a little adventure to see more of the area that we're now living in. We started out at Tettegouche State Park, which is less than 5 miles from our house. We parked at the trail head and set out to do some hiking. The sign said 0.7 miles to the high falls, so I was think that 1.4 miles round trip would be a piece of cake. Of course, I wasn't thinking of 1.4 miles in the snow/ice, up and down steep hills, while carrying a 20+ pound child, so it wasn't quite a piece of cake for this out of shape mama. But we made it to the high falls and back again all in one piece.
Next we continued to drive north on highway 61. We drove past the Lutsen ski resort which was packed! Barry's trying to convince me to take up skiing next winter. We'll see.
Then, since we were only 20 miles away, we continued north to Grand Marais. We ate lunch at the Crooked Spoon and walked around the town a little bit.
We then headed back home. During the whole trip we must have seen at least 40 deer along the side of the highway--they're very plentiful up here! They seem to gather in 2's or 3's.
Everyone enjoyed the day, and look forward to more hiking in the many state parks up here.
