the Present Day


Sukie and I were out to the Grand Portage Trailhead in Jay Cooke during the mid-afternoon.  There were quite a few people in the park today so we avoided the park headquarters.  At the parking lot for Grand Portage which also provides access to the Superior Hiking Trail, there were a number of hikers.  In an attempt to avoid a busy trail, we took our own direction atop a fairly supportive snow-crust to the edge of the river.  After a time of solitude, we were joined by Cody, a young man who shared a similar intention.  We enjoyed five minute conversation with each other.
