Yooper Wood Pile and Lake Superior Sunset

My friend, Jamey, is helping me out to prepare for next winter in a couple of different ways.  First of all, I am buying a wood stove from him.  My wood stove is inefficient and has done its time.  Secondly, he had logs delivered yesterday which he will cut up and stack.

Last night toward the end of my museum hours, one of the brothers of Ann Arbor friends stopped by to visit.  Tim is on a tour of the Upper Peninsula for the first time after living in working overseas for many years.  Our first stop:  the log slide.

Then we drove over to the Hurricane River for sunset.  It felt much more like an October evening than it did July.
