North Woods Day
AN ICONIC NORTH WOODS SCENE ON AN ICONIC North Woods day. Dazzling gulls swoop through a blue sky on a southwest breeze. The white-throated sparrows still sing in mid-July. A few minutes earlier two fellows in an old-fashioned red-and-silver Lund fishing boat trolled by, looking for walleyes… Yes, you can hear the old Hamms Beer drums in the distance. And Sig Olson and Ernest Oberholtzer just paddled around the point in their Perterborough Prospecter canoe. Iconic.
