Oooops

I spent a good part of the day today cleaning up a huge spruce that nearly did some damage to the sauna. Luckily it didn't even break the window. Some damage was done to the snowmobile and a 4-wheeler but not critical. We can always use some free firewood. Lotsa fun using the chain saw for the first time this sping. Any day at camp is a good day!!!!!

Yellow Dog River

Sunday was spent fishing, hiking woods cruising. The Yellow Dog was pretty much a raging torrent at the falls. Farther downstream Ann found the mother of all boulders perched at the top of another falls. Despite rainy, drizzly weather it was a really nice outing. Always nice to "hit the bush." By the way, the fish were not biting......

Eagle Watching Paddle

I/we had a good time paddling and eagle watching on Friday evening. It had cooled off considerably after a warm day. The eagle tending the nest did several take-offs and landings for us. The second one seemed content perched on the far side of the lake. More trips are planned as the eggs hatch and eaglets mature. Exciting!!! Good way to spend an evening.

April Snow

Pretty quiet week. Miata-ing and cycle riding took a back seat to indoor spring chores due to a heavy wet snow that fell on Sunday and Monday.

Moonbeam on L. Superior. A photo doesn't do it justice but...............

MIchigamme Mine/Presque Isle Evening

Some photos of Michigamme Mine. I made a return hike in Tuesday to get a few photos. Also we watched the sunset and moon rise at Marquette's Presque Isle park Thursday night. The moonbeam on the lake from the black rocks cove was mesmerizing as well as the full moon lighting the pathway on the walk back to the vehicle. It's the "little" things you have to take time to enjoy...... Happy Easter to one and all.

Weekend

We had a fun weekend. Maple Syrup sugarbush tour Sat, then Miners Falls and Autrain Falls. In the PM stargazing at Mattson Park with the astronomy club. Sunday was a day spent exploring the Michigamme(Mt Shasta) Mine after a short hike in and later hunting garnets near Mt Shasta. I found some pretty cool samples. All in all, a good weekend.
