Sunday nite was windy and dark so we did go down the road 2
miles to the easiest access to the Lake Superior beach (right across the street
from the Muskellonge Lake campground).
You can see the pictures above!!
Monday we trained only one team cause it was warm (up to 50)
too fast. Because Randy forgot where he
packed the rice for the dogs’ carbohydrate supplement (he since remembered he
packed it under the floor in the dog part of the trailer) we decided to go to Sault
Ste. Marie to the store to buy rice (we normally buy it in 25 pound bags from
Sam’s Club – because we thought we forgot it we ended up buying 4 2 pound bags
at the grocery store in Newberry – at 4 times the price we would usually pay –
and we use 2 pounds a day for the dogs!).
It’s about an hour and half ride and it was a nice day to see more color
in the trees (I would say they are close to peaking….) Found the Walmart and of course I found more
stuff to buy – still wish I had been able to talk Randy into clothes shopping
at Goodwill for some stuff I forgot, but no such luck! That trip took up most of the day so it was
feed us and dogs time by the time we got back. tCrisp Point Lighthouse – it’s
on the Lake Superior shore east of where we are – we took all back dirt roads
on the way there and paved on the way home.
Took us about two hours to get there – the last 12 miles took an
hour!!!!! They are doing lots of logging and with the recent downpours, the
road was really muddy and torn up!!! We
passed 2 logging trucks head on and had to pull off of the road into the woods
to let them pass!!!! We also drove
through a lot of the ground that was leveled by the forest fires up here a few
years ago- amazing how that changes the terrain!!! The light house was a delightful destination
and very secluded compared to all the other tourist spots (could have something
to do with the horrific road you have to go on to get there…..) There was a couple our age camping in a tent
there as volunteer hosts for the week – they are from Duluth MN – the light house
has been preserved and renovated over the last 20 years – we even went the 64
steps up into the top!!! And of course,
since we were at the beach, I had to collect more rocks!!!! Still haven’t found anything exciting like an
agate or amethyst, but I will keep looking!!!!!
Wednesday morning we were able to get 2 teams run- though it
was right on the bubble for temperature -
it’s a good thing almost all of the trail is in pine forest and shaded
so it stays cooler even with the sun coming out! Now we’re off on another 4 wheeler ride to
scout out trails!!!!!
