Porcupine Mountains, Day 3

Today was a lounge day. We mostly hung around the cabins - just reading, playing, and fishing. Still no fish, but that's not deterring the kids a bit.

One of the rocks on which the Carp River bridge is built has a geological marker on it. The U.S. Geological Survey places these markers all over the country - sometimes in absurdly remote places - and then measures their position periodically to determine degrees of movement. Kind of cool.


The bravest among us (read: the kids) went swimming in the river, which to my body feels like about 32.1 degrees. I did go in for a nanosecond after much cajoling from Joe and Maria, but only to rinse off; I was back out and in dry clothes within minutes! The big splash in this picture is Joe doing a cannonball.


... And here's Matt ...

Spent some nice time in the afternoon and evening just hanging out at the beach. The first shot here is Maria and Hannah, enjoying the view of Lake Superior.







We decided it had rained plenty hard yesterday to qualify us for a campfire, so we had a lovely one this evening, and then ended the day with another sunset.
