Right now the Ham Lake Run is going on at the top of the trail. This is the final event of the Gunflint GreenUp weekend. Yesterday was the tree planting in the Ham Lake burn area and last night was a dinner and music under the big top tent at Gunflint Lodge.
Today is one those days that I wait for all winter. It is in the low 50's but feels warmer, the sun is shining and and there is a slight breeze. I went for a walk this morning and then to check the ice out on the lake. We (Clearwater Lake) is still pretty locked in with ice. Very near the shore it is breaking up but it has a ways to go. At least we are getting some warmer days.
I tried to get creative with some photos down by the lake. This one is looking down at the ice with the sky and trees reflected in it. I took about 40 pictures on my walk today but when I got back and really looked at them, they were mostly of the last of the snow. They looked like mid-winter pictures and were generally misleading of what it is like now. Outside the woods the show has melted. In very shaded and protected areas, there is still plenty to melt but on the whole, it looks like spring has finally arrived.
