Porkies camp-n-snow adventures! Take II

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!
