Beautiful Weather!!!
8:14 PM
I can't believe the weather. It has been just beautiful the last couple of weeks. Temps have been 10 to 15 degrees above normal and Terry and I have taken time to enjoy the wonderful days of Indian summer. So much so we have been slacking off getting the resort ready for winter but that will get taken care of soon or later.
Yesterday we walked to Bridal Falls. This summer the Youth Conservation Corp came in and cleared the trail to the Falls. After the Ham Lake fire in 2007 it became difficult to walk the trail because of new growth of Aspen, raspberry bushes and just brush. If you haven't done the trail, it is part of the Border Route Trail and it goes from the Lodge around Crab Lake almost over to Gunflint Lake then to the falls. It take about 2 hours to get all the way to the falls and is a moderate walk.
It was a great walk with a number of great views along the way. We also saw a number of ruffed grouse along Crab Lake. When we got to the falls we sat down in front of the falls and had a leisurely lunch before heading back to the Lodge.
