Bear Paw Print


Mike, who has joined our staff this summer from UW -Whitewater, gave me a number of photos from the two canoe trips he has taken since he has been here. On one trip he went to Caribou and visit Johnson Falls. On the second he went in at Duncan and went to Rose Falls.
Mike pointed out this one he took of a bear paw print on the Rose Falls trip.
Weather note: I have had several phone calls today regarding flooding so there must have been something on the news about the rain in Grand Marais last night. We just had a hard rain last night at mid-trail it was just a normal rain and Erik and Mike even headed into town to haul in all the recycle. When they got there, the recycle center was closed as were a number of other businesses.
The forest service measured 6.5 inches of rain by morning at their office on Lake Superior and we heard that there was 17 inches at the Apostle Islands. A number of gravel roads and drive ways washed out and there was flooding in low lying areas and on 61 near Cut Face creek along the big lake. The Gunflint Trail is fine as is Clearwater Road and the repair work other roads will be done quickly. We have a 30 % chance of rain tonight and 20% to 30% over the next few days. Highs will be in the upper 60's to low 70's and lows in the upper 40's to low 50's.
