Photo taked from Grand Ely Lodge early this morning. The leaves are budding, the birds chirpiing, with the sun coming over the horizon, life in the North Woods is good!

Ely Winter Fest 2013
One of our scheduled events was to visit the Snow Sculptures at the Winter Fest.
Gary and Nancy, you would think it was cold as bundled up as we were.
A Drive in the Cabin Road
The road to the cabin had been freshly plowed.
"I see the lake, said Nancy, "but no water, only ice."
Tom had opened the Cabin, turned on the heat, and made a path for us. Thanks Tom!
Just down the highway, we have several pictures of the National Forest sign but none as breathtaking as this!
More snow............no end to it.
