We went through there on our honeymoon. Salmon fishing. We were at Gold Bluff Beach, Cali before that seeing the fern forest, camping on the beach and watching elk playing in the ocean surf. A rare sight. That was 1978 but it might as well have been yesterday.

Have a wonderful time!

Hope you catch the bass I didn't get, and have the great weather we did have.

And don't forget to tape the Packers/Bears game 9/9.

Weather was great. NO TV, Internet, and barely phone service.
20 miles from Canada. Lake Superior is awesome.
I didn't want to leave.

Since they legalized cannabis this year, I've been watching the local news to see if anyone is going to open some "Dutch style coffee shops", lol.

It might not be alone in the wilderness, but it's Canada, and they have legal pot.

Almost as good.
