We woke up on Monday to a calm and smooth Lake Superior. After some breakfast and coffee and a little walk out on the rocks we headed up the Gunflint Trail, and Joe and I took a day trip into the Boundary Waters while my parents drove up the trail further to the Gunflint Lodge and Trail's End, viewing damage from the recent forest fire along the way.
We began our canoe trip from Poplar Lake, continued on Lake Lizz, and walked the portage to view Caribou Lake before returning. As usual, canoeing with a dog who is bred to chase waterfowl is a good time... despite a few close calls with loons and another canoe party, she only jumped out of the canoe once, at the very end of the trip.

After our canoe trip, we met back up with my parents for dinner at Naniboujou Lodge, along the shore of Superior, about 20 minutes northeast from Grand Marais, and about 20 miles from Canada.
After a tasty dinner we took a short walk on the pebble beach shoreline.
On Tuesday morning we packed up our belongings from the cabin, had lunch at Betty's Pies and drove back home.
