Ten Years Today

Today, June 28, marks the tenth anniversary we have had our Cabin on Bear Island Lake.  We have enjoyed our time here beyond all expectations.  Nancy and Gary have made many new friends here.  We manage to read several books each summer while sitting in the swing or on the floating living room.  Many updates to the cabin make our stay more comfortable and satisfying, compared to our first night of sleeping on a mattress on the floor.  Some of our most pleasurable times are when family and friends come to visit us.  Lucky for us, the cabin came with a garage which we managed to fill with “toys”.   Fishing, Boating, Reading, Birding and Photography fill most of our time here.  So if you haven’t been to visit, pick up a book, pack a bag, and give Nancy and Gary a call. 

Post update #2

Phil came up for some fishing and relaxation.  A mornings catch on Miners Pit, score Phil 4, Gary 1, oh well......... If I only had a red Rapala.

During Phil's visit we had 6" rain in 24 hours while Duluth-Superior had major floods.

We managed to get the toys in between showers.

Trying to catch up on posting!

On the way up we we spent the night in Superior WI, the following morning we drove to Riverside Cemetry.  We found Grandma Hannah and Aunt Mae's markers had been reset, the grounds are in very good condition. 

We arrived in time to enjoy the Spring Poppies.

Driving up to Ely we saw the remains of the forest fire from two weeks earlier.
