Sea Cliff House Oct.14th, 2004

After leaving my favorite cabin at Bearskin I picked a house in Tofte to spend a couple nights. This was a rental house and was right on the shores of Lake Superior. It had lots of room and would be great to have for a family reunion or with friends.

This was the scene on the Gunflint Trail as I was leaving Bearskin and off to my next stop in Tofte along Lake Superior.

Snowy morning at Bearskin Oct 14th, 2004

My final morning at Bearskin and it was coated with snow. It was a great sight to see as it would be all melted by noon.

Snowy drive back to the cabin Oct 13, 2004

Yesterday on the 12th it was in the 70's, sunny and I was golfing. Today was rainy and to top it off it was 33 degrees and snowing on the drive back to Bearskin from Ely. Only in Minnesota! I was happy to have a new kayak.

Ely, MN Oct. 13th, 2004

I made it to my destination of Ely on my birthday and my goal was to stop at Piragis and buy my first kevlar canoe and kayak. I took the kayak and would later pick up my canoe in Winona when I got home. I also stopped at my favorite photographer's gallery in Ely. Jim Brandenburg lives in Ely and just so happened to stop in as I was there. I was fortunate enough for the chance to meet him as I was looking for some of his work to display on my walls at home. I found plenty and got a picture with him and some autographed issues of National Geographic with his articles in it. He worked for NG in the past.

It was a great birthday to spend in Ely and at Bearskin lodge.
