I went up to Grand Marias over the new years. I had a blast, clearly the north shore of Lake Superior is my "happy place."
In honor of that, I'd like to share some past photos of favorite spots.
In teh summer I stay in a cabin near Hovland, Minnesota. Right out the door is a little point, which I spend a lot of time on. Here's the view looking east up the coast . . .

That evening I was out around sunset, and an ore-ship was reflecting the setting sun off the point.
This remains one of the favorite scenes I took pictures of off "the point." I just noticed the resemblence between the waves on the point and the waves on the Jarl Asbjorn model -- I think I know what I was modelling!
Another often visited location is the Pidgeon river, which is the border between the US and Canada. A very cool place on the river is the Partridge Falls. In 2010 my buddy Dennis and I were up north in the peak of leaf season. We went and visited Partridge Falls.

Logs at the bottom of the falls -- these are from the 19th century, when the area was first logged |

With Dennis, for scale! |
I came home from the time up north totally refreshed -- which is my common reaction to visiting this wonderful area.
I'll post more on basing the Irish army soon!
No matter how many times I visit the North Shore, I never see everything there is to see. We're really lucky to live so close to such a gem.
