Peggy and I returned from our quick trip to Indiana to see our family. It was quite hot there, in the 90's almost every day. We returned to the Lodge and back to our nice cool Northwoods weather. Temperatures have been in the mid-70's during the day and getting into the upper 50's or lower 60's at night.
The Cavity Lake fire is now 80% contained. We continue to have no impact from the fire but it is an interesting science lesson. This was a hot fire, which when it comes to natural forest regeneration is good. The first event will be that wild geraniums will grow. These will be from seeds that have laid dormant for decades or even centuries waiting for such an event to clear the forest and allow the sun in. By June of next year, the entire floor of the burned area will be covered in green with red flowers. I'll keep posting more information on the regeneration over the next few days.
Photo of the stairway portage was provide by Paul Spadino from his recent trip. Good Photo!!
