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

Image

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

Image

A view from the outhouse.

Image

1970

Image

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

Image

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

Image

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.

Image

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.

Image

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...

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 :shock: OMG I'm old :!: :lol: :lol:

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! :D
