OUR ROAD SCHOLARS have had a great time exploring Voyageurs National Park and environs. A last evening in Ely overlooking Shagawa Lake. Then two days of lovely weather (after a tough stretch.) A Park Boat cruise to Kettle Falls in the heart of the Border Country. A fine meal at The Dam Restaurant in tiny Orr, MN. Then paddling among the Grassy Islands on gorgeous Lake Kabetogama, my childhood heaven-on-earth. (Such great fun to share it with others.) A loon within 5 feet of the canoes! Diving and posing. Picnic lunch on Woodenfrog Point. A quick stop with my friends at the Pine Ridge Gift Shop, where their tiny space is over-run with 18 shoppers and coffee connoisseurs. It is a really excellent group, fun and flexible, warm and appreciative. One more day together. Hope you enjoy the photo album!
