This was a BIG adventure over 4 days and since I'm just a dog, it's mostly photos and LOTS of them.
|
Sandy is picking up the cabin keys on Sunday afternoon. |
|
Now we're off! |
|
I got a new pack! |
|
They made me carry all my own food and supplies this time. |
|
This is trail mutt kind of terrain! |
|
A trail marker is being ate by this tree. |
|
They stopped for lunch. I didn't need none! |
|
We ran into snow as soon as we gained some elevation.
I love snow! |
|
This is Lilly pond. |
|
This is our 1st cabin on Mirror lake. |
|
Boy is it nice! |
|
I said "hi" to some friendly hikers going past.
They had the next cabin over. |
|
Who made a snowman?? |
|
Someone carved a face in the cabin.
Its in German but I can't read anyway.. |
|
I went for a dip. Sandy wasn't happy with the
good smell I found. |
|
Frozen rain came down. click, click, clink, clink, click, click. |
|
I love this place! |
|
I kept a chipmunk up in this tree. |
|
Now we head down to the BIG lake and another cabin. |
|
I'll show them just how easily a water dog crosses a river. |
|
What? That's the hard way to go! |
|
A little all-paw drive is needed here. |
|
We stopped to see the falls and snack. |
|
I had trail kibble. |
|
Oh this trail has some pretty spots! |
|
We finally made it down to my favorite Lake Superior!. The hikers at Mirror lake said this bridge had washed out this spring. |
|
I love this cabin! Its my favorite one! |
|
This is like the Ramada! |
|
But I'm more an outside dog where vermin is. |
|
Oh my lake, I'm a water dog ya know. |
|
Dusk that evening. It was chilly! |
|
An arrow made with white rocks to mark the trail. |
|
A frosty rock the next morning. |
|
I'll miss this place. |
|
Lets go! |
|
Now we head west along the shore. |
|
Bye-bye lake shore chippy! |
|
The friendly rangers who service the cabins are heading back.
Bye-bye! |
|
Along the way we bumped into more friendly hikers and
their trail mutt! |
|
Now we headed inland again. |
|
An old North County trail marker. |
|
OK,, again I'll show you the easy way across. |
|
Hope you fall in, the water was great! |
|
Was Big Foot here... or a dinosaur?? |
|
Sandy makes her way across this tree. |
|
Don't leave me! |
|
Tea time. |
|
I leapt up this rock with a tree on top. |
|
Snow again! |
|
Ya winter will be here soon. |
|
The job of hunting chipmunks, is never done. |
|
We made it to the Green stone cabin! |
|
Its very nice, I might have to make it my favorite! |
|
Campers left a toy for us. Hey, I bet kids were here! |
|
Good chipmunk hunting here. |
|
We went for an evening walk across the bridge. |
|
The cabin was nice and all, but I prefer to stay out
during hunting hours. |
|
Now we head back to the lot we left the breadbox at. |
|
Finally! My bags got emptied when we got back
to the parking lot. |
|
Don't "Overlook" your chance to visit the Porkies soon!!
You could join us here for a post Thanksgiving weekend
for our camp-N-feast bash!
Details; we rented the Union River bunk 8 cabin which
is the largest in the Porkies on Saturday the 30th.
This is just a 1.5 mile hike in and we'll have a potluck dinner
there that day but we've not yet determined the time.
Let us know if you'd care to join us.
