Blog post from afar

I'm vacationing this week in the north woods... my family has visited one of my favorite spots -- the state park on Madeline Island. We had a beautiful, sunny day for swimming and hiking. We're also canoeing and fly-fishing the Brule River in Douglas County. We plan a trip to the mouth of the Brule, where it empties into Lake Superior.

I love looking out over the giant expanse of Lake Superior -- thinking I can see Canada. Actually, I think it's the north shore of Minnesota, but still the expanse! At any rate, everyone's getting rested up for back to school and back to work. Maybe I'll find some story ideas while I'm up here. I know I'll meet some interesting people and see some interesting north woods sights!
