Memorial Weekend







We have been open since May 9th, but I think this is the weekend when we really are open and ready for business. So much of what we can get done and on is weather dependent that first few weeks of May. But now we have all the cabins open and the water lines have only frozen up 3 times! Water has only run out of the bottom of the pump house with a blown valve one time and all the septic tanks are open (thank goodness) and the washers in the laundry building overflowed only one time.. The bagged bales of straw for insulation has been all picked up (which is why the water lines froze) and the humming bird feeder thawed out.

Along with these chilly temperatures we have been having, it was 82 degrees yesterday and record breaking. It is back to normal today with a nice 46 degrees this morning.

The leaves are popping out on the trees in Grand Marais and about 5 miles up the Trail. Over the next week we can just watch the progression of spring come up the trail every day.

From prior blogs you know Ben Trace was here turning on our water lines to our cabins. He did have a chance for an overnight canoe trip with Jared Bowman and Travis Gunter. Jared sent me some photos of their trip into Duncan and to the waterfalls.
