I drove away from the lodge for my 6 month Indiana stay last Wednesday . The first time I have left for an extended time in the 6 years we have been there and it felt really odd to be leaving the lodge behind! I got very homesick as I was driving down the trail on the perfect fall day that was cool, crisp and sunny. Peggy and Mike left for Ohio the following day to their winter home.
I decided to take the scenic route through the UP of MI for the drive to Indiana. For two days of driving it was the most beautiful of fall colors in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Upper Michigan. I avoided the express ways and drive down the country roads to enjoy the small towns and lake drive. Before reaching IN, I spent a few days in mid-Michigan at my brother's house and got to see my great nephew and neice.
Erik also left last week and after a vacation to family in CO, he is going to be spending the winter in Ely at White Wilderness guiding dog sled trips. Hopefully we will see him back at Clearwater in the spring.
Well folks, I will update the blog periodically as I get interesting information but I won't have any Minnesota or Gunflint Trail wildlife or snow pictures to add this winter. You can reach me at our regular phone numbers which are transferred to my cell or email as usual.
