Hike The Sea Cliffs Trail
Monday, September 22, 2025 L:61 H:65 I drove up to Walkie’s in the morning. He told me to come back if my check engine light came on, and it was. The truck was running a lot better. It sounded good and was getting better gas mileage. He wasn’t there, so I poked around the yard…

A Day to Remember
Thursday, September 18, 2025 Walkie told us to return in the morning so he could install a new air filter and clean the sensors. He called in an order for the filter yesterday, saying it would be delivered about 9:00. We arrived at 9:45. I wondered how he could get reliable deliveries in his remote…

On to Duluth
September 15, 2025 Low 57 degrees, high 73, sunny! Finland State Park Campground was a great place to stay, peaceful, quiet, pretty. At first national forest and state forests, make me a little nervous. They are remote, and you don’t know what crowd will frequent them. This one couldn’t have been better. It is well…

The Whiskey Jack Trail
September 6, 2025 36 degrees at 6:00 We are on Central Time now. All the stars were out this morning! I should have gotten a picture, but it was too chilly to lay on the picnic table. We waited until 10:00 to go exploring the park, hoping for a little warmer temperatures. There were lots…

Moving to Thunder Bay
September 4, 2025 41 degrees at 6:00, high of 54. We booked a campsite at Fort William in Thunder Bay on advice from Airstreamers at Terrace Bay and from Sandy at the Silver Islet store. There was no need to hurry, so I went down to the South Kaybeyun parking lot to see if I…

Labrador 6
Thursday, August 15, 2024 On the last morning, we needed to pack up and get out of the cabin because all the St. Marie family was coming. There were a couple of messages about the float plane not being able to get out due to low ceiling. Thankfully the flight from Labrador City to Montreal…
