Into The Great White Abyss






















Everyday on the Gunflint Trail is different when it comes to the weather. Today brought sheets of thick fog rolling off the lake. I am sure the gentleman from the United Kingdom who is out on a canoe trip feels right at home. "Thick as pea soup" is how they would describe it on the other side of the pond, and a good description indeed. Kevin and I decided to test our navigation skills and take a boat out in the gray mess. No more than a 100 yards from the dock we were shrouded in the misty fog, with shore nowhere in sight. From the picture you can tell Kevin was as giddy as a school girl. The fog surely made navigating the lakes in a canoe tough, but it also created a great chance for some pictures. I hope you enjoy the product of a couple hours of "hard" work on the trail.
