The hills of old Duluth, as that singer Bob something would say.



Got the sticks picked up, leaves raked, trim painted and dead trees cut up. When I was a wee lad, the water was up to the grass



A view from the outhouse.



1970



So that hill is like a 15 mile long glacial snow bank.



See, water was once up past the sauna and they had a small dock there.



and that is Ontario over there. the bluff is called Gros Cap. You can see the lightship and a 1000 footer. The UP is like a giant sandbar, so generally flatish. Over there is Canadian Shield. If you google pics of Agawa Canyon you can see the difference.



and turning around i snapped the Iroquois point light. Built in 1870, so pretty old for these parts. I used to have to use the tower as a phone booth to get a Canadian signal.



Bah, and now I'm home and I see I have to mow the lawn again.

fantastic pictures. I visited my daughter in Esko, Mn. 2 years ago. She took my sister and I showed us all around Deluthe, it is beautiful. We went to a few beaches, visited some quaint little stores.. she lived in Red Wing before that, her husband Charles grew up in Deluth.e, spelling it wrong.

Beautiful photos! Then again, I'm a sucker for birch trees and lake photos...

I grew up in northeast Iowa and spent many summer vacations in the UP and over around Alexandria. Sometimes I miss it -- now I have desert forever...

Great photos! Looks like a wonderful place to spend some quality quiet time.

What a wonderful spot to vacation!
Do you swim in the lake?
Dig the old pictures..by the colour of the "sled" it's
got to be an Artic Cat?
Amazing how much the water has receded!!!

Your pictures brought back fond memories for me Dan,
I grew up 250 miles NE of Thunder Bay, actually taught
school there in the '70's OMG I'm old

Back in our salad days we'd go bar hopping after teaching
on a Friday, and scoot over the border for last call
as they were an hour behind us...what were we thinking

Looks like you did a fine job preparing the camp for
the summer!

Looks like a great place to spend some peaceful days, beautiful.

Wonderful pictures! Thank you for sharing them with us, I love nature in all it's beauty.
