North Shore Part 2

We woke up at a good time the next morning (June 5th) and started out our day with a walk up Shovel Point.    Nothing like some steps to get one going in the morning! :)

It was a cool and foggy morning.

 

After our first hike of the day we went back to camp and were rewarded with eggs, bacon, and coffee!  It was worth it :)

After breakfast we drove up to Cascade State Park and enjoyed a nice little hike to the falls and by the river.

It was fun being able to walk so close to the river.

Next we stopped at Temperance River State Park

We walked along the gorge and then continued up on the Superior Hiking trail along the river.

This was one of my favorite trails I think that we did, you were right by Temperance River the whole time.

...Stay tuned for our next stop, George H. Crosby Manitou State Park!

North Shore Part 1

Hey everyone!  Today I will be sharing with you my first camping trip of the 2019 season :)  On June 4th Ellen, Libby, and I headed out for the North Shore to spend 2 nights at Tettegouche State Park and do some exploring close to there.

It was a beautiful sunny day for a drive!

Stopped at Betty's Pies in Two Harbors for lunch.  It wasn't too busy so that was nice!

Those were the best onion rings I've ever had!

We shared a piece of 5 layer chocolate pie...so good.

Made a quick stop at Palisade Head.

 

We arrived at Tettegouche, got camp set up and headed out for a hike!

Lots of steps :-p

The Swinging Bridge

 

 

We could see that some rain and thunderstorms were coming in so when we got back from the hike we decided to just a short walk down to the lake before going to the Visitor Center.

  

It rained for a couple hours, thankfully they have a nice area where one can stay inside!

Rainy evening calls for a few games of Monopoly Deal haha

The rain stopped by around 7 and we headed back to muddy camp and decided to get some supper made.

Hamburgers!

 We didn't have a fire that first night but just got supper made up and ate.  It was kinda cold and wet so we got ready for bed and played games/talked in the tent until we went to sleep.  Not every night of camping is always perfect but one makes the best of it and has a good time anyway! :)
