Very quiet day on vacation here in Lutsen. Diane and I got out for a run this morning on a trail in the woods.The trail circled the top of a mountian.. more of a hill really. it had beauiful views of .. well there are just miles and miles of trails surrounded by miles and miles of miles and miles. Pretty and empty.. Diane and I decided to explore the road the trail was on.. it was 5 miles of nothing with a trail at the end..

We came back to the cains and picked up some relatives and went out on another hike.. (hiking rates big here on the list of things to do)

This place was called ‘The Gorge’ .. just like home.. it was really pretty.

The trail followed a small river that has cut a steep gorge..

We had an easy walk along the gorge…

Berto checks out the 40 foot drop.

My dad found a spooky place on a cliff to leave a SamStone.. it was a perfect place .. the knd of place that Sam would have climbed out on..

It was fun having Jake and Ellery with us…. they were good hikers.

We stopped to stick our toes in the creek.. I fell instantly asleep on the beach.

‘Berto really got into the water…

My folks are great hikers…

We got back around 4L30.. Billy had taken gabe, betsy and chris out fishing.. They showed up around 7PM with a fish !

That was about everything… no… wait.. this bug just flew on Gabe’s neck and bit him.. No joke.. they’re both OK.. (Gabe and the bug)

OK.. that’s it.. not sure what’s up for tomorrow. You’ll read about it here.. nite folks.. nite sam
