Sable Lake Sunny Snowshoe

Yesterday I did research on the Grand Marais history book all day until finally the sun, as well as my friend, Renee, made me go outside for exercise.  We started from the Sable Visitor's center and snowshoed through the deep snow across the fields to Sable Lake.  Since we have not seen much of the sun lately, we decided to clear off and sit on the guard rail and just enjoy the sunshine.  Our silence was only broken by a few snowmobiles that screamed past us. 

In areas out of the wind, the snow is still clinging to the trees....

As I said, in places the snow was so deep that even with snowshoes we sunk way down.

Snowmobiling is an important winter industry for Grand Marais, but we try to ignore the noise and smell the best we can.
