Saying goodbye to summer

A late posting of pictures from our trip "up north" to the Gunflint Trail, a road that winds it's way through the Boundary Waters Canoe Area from Grand Marais.  The drive from Duluth north follows the shores of Lake Superior (Elisabet must have asked us 30 times "is this the largest lake in the world???".

We enjoyed spectacular views of the lake, the birch/pine forests and exploring the northern reaches of MN.  We even took our canoes across the Gunflint lake to a picnic spot in Canada.  The weather wasn't very summery, in fact it was extremely windy and cold, but we still managed to find plenty of things to do.  And we could always warm up from being outside by hopping into the Jacuzzi tub (or zoo-cozy as Elisabet called it).
