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.
