I was able to FINALLY develop my photos from my camping trip along the North Shore earlier this October.  I posted the best of the best to my State Parks page...enjoy! Note:  You have to scroll past the "sour puss" post to find them. :)

Sour Puss!

The "kids" didn't appear too happy to have their photo taken last night when I thought I'd try and get a group photo... but none the less, I did get one.  :)

Fall camping along the North Shore- October

Falll is perhaps the perfect time to travel up north along the North Shore to do some camping.  Not too hot, not too cold, and the colors are amazing!  I posted my best ones on my state park blog as well....check them out!

My first morning at camp; it was a beautiful fall morning.

At my large campsite...all to myself!

Oberg Mountain hiking trail; Lake Superior on the left.

Back to camp from the Oberg Mountain hike...lunch time!  Enjoying a grilled cheese sandwhich and soup.

A visitor!  This friendly little guy, whom I named "Wilson" was proven to be quite a brave little buggar.  He climbed right up my leg to sit upon my lap to eat some bread.

Stuffing his face!!

A friendly little companion for my trip.  :)

With a little daylight left, I decided to hike along the Superior Hiking Trail next to the Temperance River to soak up the scenery.  The raging Temperance River.

Part of the Temperance River.... down to a low stream.

Hooray!  I made it!!

TaDa!  Spectacular beauty!!

Well worth the 3.5 mile hike!

Back down at the bottom again. The Temperance River with some added "rock art".

Tree hugger. :)  I love nature!

Relaxing back at camp for another chilly evening, warmed by the fire.  My last night at Temperance River State Park.

Warmth!

The Silver Bay tunnel on the drive back home to the cities.

I stopped at Tettegouche State Park on the way back home to check out the park for a bit.  I've never visited this one yet, and decided to hike a few short trails within the park. 

An overlook exposing the Baptism River.
