Despite having a rib injury from slipping on wet leaves while I was down state, I just had to get out and hike yesterday. It was sunny with temperatures in the 50s -- feeling more like September than November. I chose to carefully walk the flat trail between H58 and the Log Slide (Masse Homestead Trail). When I left to go down state a couple of weeks ago, the trees still had their leaves. Now it certainly looks like late fall.
As I walked toward the logslide, I noticed that the character of the forest changed. Here are a few examples:
After I arrived at the log slide, I took the old trail east back to the western edge of the Grand Sable Dunes. Notice the hiker in the middle of the sand bowl.
It was a calm day on the waters of Lake Superior. Here is a shot looking east toward Grand Marais.
I notice along the trail one of the most colorful shelf fungi I have ever seen.
Yesterday morning the deer were eating the apples in my yard. I was able to capture a few photos.
