short & sweet on words...many pics...

went away for the weekend with friend Lisa.

had an amazingly laid back time....

here's what we did.


started in ely. there appears to be a real fascination in the northern part of our state with pie.


first evening...45 min aftr arriving from ely on a rainy trip up 61...rain abated so firegirl could get to it. how perfect is it that sven & ole's delivers to the lakeside?? pretty awesome.


this includes fresh blueberry pie. freshly picked...right off the trails...


met this very personable painter & husband from duluth. enjoyed a wonderful shared campfire as well...


wandered the beach...(that tree in the foreground near the fire? i felt it needed dragging there to sustain our wood for a few days ;) some of the only working out I did all weekend...moving some trees...


thinking spot....


lisa enjoying a gorgeous sunday morning in the boat house and agreeing with me that we don't want to go home.


we're missing an angel i think...the harley guy who shot this said we had to pose like this :P


cedar enjoying her lake. she's one of 2 resident dogs at the cabins...


our private lunch spot on Iron Lake, about 30 miles up the Gunflint....yes, in the burned area. no moose this trip :(


this is where friend David and i got stuck in February in the snow. Next time we'll take my car.


we took this part of the SHT up the Kadunce River. It was so shallow I spent most of my time *in* the river taking pictures...


like this one...


this is the kadunce river trying to empty into the mother lake superior...late afternoon clouds reflecting on a gorgeous august afternoon...


these two....i tell you...


this cowgirl is done posting for today....later ya'll....
