Ski trip 2

















After three days of skiing, we had planned on going snowshoeing, but as the temperatures were really warm and there was not much snow (thanks global warming) we took a hike instead. We drove up the Gunflint Trail to Gunflint Lake, which was not even frozen enough to go out on, a first in memory for the locals we talked to! We were fortunate to see a group of deer while we hiked, and a wolf from the car. In the photo of the two of us the lake is visible in the background, and Canada is on the other side.



















On our way back from the hike we stopped at Cascade State Park and walked up the trails to see a very nice partially frozen waterfall along the Cascade River.













In recent years it has become a tradition for us to stop at Betty's Pies in Two Harbors on our way home from the Notrh Shore. Not only is the veggieburger amazing, but the pie is delicious too.
