This is my continuation of our Porkies Adventure story. The post starts with Monday's fun.

I got to meet the friendly fishermen in the 4 bunk from WI.
There are 3 cabins here at the mouth of the Big Carp river. |
 |
We moved to another cabin today, the Lake Superior 4 bunk.
We'd not stayed here before! It was spiffy. |
 |
After we settled in, we headed out for another day hike. |
 |
We headed up the Cross Trail. It was pretty! |
 |
Early this spring, a ice and wind storm came through here. |
 |
Lots and lots of BIG Hemlocks were pulled down. |
 |
The higher we got, we started to see snow again. I love winter! |
 |
We had such a nice hike today. |
 |
Back at camp, the wind blew out of the NW.
You can't see this in my pack's lame photos but the
waves were over 10ft high! |
 |
The next morning, we day hiked up the Big Carp Trail.
There was some fresh snow! |
 |
Me and Arly posed at Shining Cloud Falls. |
 |
Where's the trail? It's been such a wet summer! |
 |
It was lightly snowing on and off today. Here it's on. |
 |
Since it was snowing, they set a tarp up to have tea under. |
 |
We had a nice little "day camp" here. |
 |
We had tea, hiked farther, came back.... |
 |
...and had tea again! |
 |
We hiked just beyond this junction. |
 |
Here is our last morning at the Lake Superior 4 bunk.
We packed up and headed west, back to the dog truck. |
 |
We headed a short ways along the shore, and spied campers!
My pack thought they were tough, camping outside and all. |
 |
Back up the Pinkerton Trail we hike. |
 |
It even snowed down here! |
 |
Pinkerton Creek bridge again. |
 |
The sun came out for the first time in the 5 days camping here.
What a nice way to end it! |
 |
Back at Porkies HQ, Arly brushed the snow off the dog truck.
There was still a foot of snow at the summit of South Boundary Rd,
but as you can see here, near the shore there was none.
I can't wait until our next camp adventure! |
