What a glorious way to start the day. Sunlight crept in through the stargazer window that looked out into the woods. Hot coffee. Eggs and sausage. And a hike along a portion of the 17 mile Lake Superior Trail to visit Manabezho, Manido, and Nawahada Falls along a stretch of the Presque Isle River. Actually our hike was in the neighborhood of two miles mostly along boardwalks and up and down sturdy park built stairs. In fact it was a lot of up and down but lots of spots to stop and gaze in wonder at these beautiful falls. Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park is a treasure. Last time we were here we visited Lake of the Clouds at the eastern end of the park. Have to say that we rather enjoyed the fact that there are fewer visitors to this western end even in this lead up to the busiest campground week of the year.
Winter Magic in Medina
By deliberate choice we were in Medina for all the winter holiday festivities from Candlelight Walk in the days before Thanksgiving through A Christmas Carol and A Celtic Christmas as well as an Alex Bevan Concert and a historic house tour all the way through Medina’s 31st Ice Festival but perhaps the highlight was the town hosting hundreds of folks whose homes and lives were devasted by Hurricane Helene at the A Promise of Christmas Event the middle of January. It’s an honor to be a part of this amazing community!
