Lake Agnes in and Out

Lake Agnes from the Superior Hiking Trail. Normally we do a through-hike, here, but today we did an in-and-out. This meant we got to see places we love twice, from different angles. The lake would be smaller and more than four feet shallower without a beaver dam.

Gorp

Stocked up on gorp ingredients to fuel upcoming hikes: cashews, granola, pistachios, Asian rice crackers, sesame sticks, wasabi peas, generic M&M’s, raisins, and dried pineapple.

Warming Up

We’d expected rain, but instead we got to hike morning and afternoon in a beautiful, slowly transforming world: the first real snowfall of the season. Back at base, the boys recharged with s’mores and cocoa

Long Drive, Short Hike

Today: long drive, short hike, our annual visit to the North Shore of Lake Superior. Tomorrow and Saturday our nephews (11 and 13) and their dad join us on the trails.
