A few last photos. . .
During the week that we were there - a few fires were burning in the Superior National Forest, and the crew was using our ranger station as a base - so it was really exciting to see the helicopter come in - fuel up and take people / supplies deep into the forest. One day they made three or four trips.
Katie & Emie - beginning their canoe adventure.
One day (what else do you do on vacation) - I counted the rings on one of the larger logs on our cabin. Not real easy - but I counted 139 rings. Knowing that our cabin was built in 1930 - that means that the tree that this log came from started growing in the 1790s - pretty amazing.
Fruit pizza - a Daniel creation and a real treat after long days outside.
One of our favorite activities is go to to the Marina in Silver Bay and hike out to the island.
Officially it is known as Pellet Island - we call it 
Pirate Island. The day we did this - it was shrouded in fog and really a neat hike. Out on the island is a great view, some bird nests, a mini lighthouse - and a great place to explore.It is a about 1/4 mile out and to reach the island you have to hop over literally millions of tons of boulders that have been placed.
Great adventures!
