I am back at the lodge and have been for about a week. When I left there was just a hint of fall color and upon my return the leaves were really showing their colors. I saw on the news yesterday that we are at about 80% of peak of a fall color which means the peak should be soon. Regardless, it is beautiful now. It was nice to leave for a little while and nice to return.
During September we have had 21 inches of rain so far. We are making up for a dry winter and spring. Some of the smaller lakes you can tell that the water levels are really up. The larger lakes such as Clearwater are up but will still take some time to return to nomal levels. On Aspen Lake (near us) several of the docks on private cabins are partially below lake level now.
We are working on closing the canoe outfitting and closing the summer cabins for the season. We will be keeping the lodge and Cabin 7 open again this year winter for the winter enthusiasts.
Winter Tracks Festival on the Gunflint Trail is scheduled for February 28 - March 2, 2008. You can see more information on the Festival at www.wintertracks.com.
