The path we took at the State Park ended in this small river.
Nice head shot of Odie while he was in the river.

After our drive on Hwy 1 a few days ago, we've been excited to try again. I bought a 12v Spotlight that lights up better than headlights! Miranda and I left Duluth at 7pm to go Moose Hunting! We drove 60 miles to the start of Hwy 1 up the North Shore. It wasn't quite dark yet so we hiked the Superior Hiking trail starting @ 47°21'17"N 91°11'44"W West to the Baptism Falls. It was only 1.2 Miles, but huge terrain. It is a well maintained trail though.
After Driving most of the night down Dirt roads shooting the spotlight in every
swamp/lake/field, and after seeing limited wildlife (baby deer, Bats, Fox, Heron), we finally had luck back on Hwy1. Five miles north of Finland, for about 3 miles appears to be Moose Land! We saw 2-3 different males and
a mother and her calf along the way! We couldn't believe it, one after another.
Giant Black Creepy masses slowly hulking along the swampy shoulders. Tried hard to get pictures, but with the slow exposure time at night, we didn't have much luck!

Mega-fancy camera, and this is all miranda can get of a moose?!
The Baptism Falls. OOOoooo nice exposure Miranda!
A Hermit Thrush we saw along the way.

Today I went to my parents' to make a strawberry pie. Sara really wanted me to post a picture of my pie after I made it, so here you go.

Today we went Scuba Diving up at Lake Ore-Be-Gone in Gilbert. Miranda's Dad came with and helped Miranda learn how to get down deep.. Since I am unable to clear my ears properly yet. Miranda did great, going down to around 30 feet with her dad. I only got down to around 20 and my ears are still hurting.. We used up all of our air in about an hour and a half. Chased fishes and navigated underwater trees, along with viewing some of the "scuba sights" of old railway cars and boat motors. It was Miranda's sister Sara's Birthday, so we had some of her great strawberry pie and ice cream cake after. Boy she is "Big".. (Almost Due! less than month).
Afterwords, we used Sara's son Hudson as a subject for testing our cameras. He's very swift and agile prey.. We decided Miranda's camera is much less "Grainy" and far better at catching "Action" shots.. (I could never get him while he was in the air).

Since Joe and I had driven up to his mom's after our Eagle Mountain hike, we all went for a hike north of Ely. The trails seemed to be mostly for cross-country skiing, but they were great hike. There were many different loops to choose from. In the end, Joe, his mom, Odie, and I hiked about 4 miles.

We saw a few deer and a strange wildflower I had not remembered seeing? turned out to be a "Heal-all". Trailhead was near: 47°58'51"N 91°58'59"W
