Summer

Well summer was here and is winding down. Our fall reservations are picking up and we are looking forward to the arrival of our fall friends coming for the beautiful fall weather and colors. We have had  good rain all summer so the rivers at Gooseberry, Split Rock, Tettegouche, Temperance and Cascade State Parks have been running a little high … Read More

State Flower

We were at Gooseberry Falls State Park last night to see the Pink Lady Slippers. They had just blossomed. There nine plants with seven in full blossom and two a little past prime. Gooseberry State Park has a special enclosure for them in a out of the way section of the park. They will last about a week then we … Read More

NORTHSHORE

I was up at the Silver Bay marina earlier in the week to see if the North Shore Scenic cruise boat M/V Wenonah was at dock. Well it wasn’t there yet but they are going to do cruises around the middle of May so I know it will be there soon. Their cruises go by Split Rock State park and … Read More

North Shore winter friends

The deer have had a tough winter already. These three are regular visitors to our feeding station. We have had as many as 20, but the last few years the numbers have declined to this year with our lowest number. It is still fun to have them come but at the price of corn it’s ok to have fewer deer. … Read More

Lake Superior Laker’s

Over 30″ of fresh snow and temp’s around zero, but the Laker’s are still operating on the Lake. They usually ship until about mid January but because of this cold weather we are getting in early December this could end their season earlier this year. Not so sure it is much fun being on a steel ship with waves splashing … Read More

A poor deer met her demise last nite while trying to cross Hwy 61 in front of our Inn. I noticed a couple Eagles waiting for a chance to get a meal. I went to get the camera and when I got back out there 5 Eagles were sitting up there along with 3 crows. Four of the Eagles had … Read More
