North Country Trail Hike

Yesterday Jamey, Lois, and I decided to re-trace the first snowshoe that we went on this past winter.  We parked at the bridge over the Sucker River in the School Forest, located around four miles east of Grand Marais.  We walked the North Country Trail, which took us east for a mile or so and then north all the way to the Lake Superior shore. 

We followed the river to the east...

Then we headed north through the woods. If you look close in the picture below, you can see Jamey and Bear, one of their dog.

The bugs were not horrible, but there were enough of them to require protective gear.

Nursery tree...

A freighter floated by...

The beach...

Another weird looking ship also passed by in the opposite direction of the closer freighter.  I think the other ship is the same barge that I saw last fall.

 
Sunset...

 

As we hiked back down the road to the car, I captured the following photos of the moon.
