Winter Camping In The Adirondacks

It was another great trip to Pharaoh Lake in Mid-March. Fortunately I got Steve Nicholson to go this year and he had the brilliant idea to build a snow wall to block the wind. He was invited back.

Steve and I take a break from construction of the wall.

Going to the Soo

Gail and I spent our winter vacation visiting Geoff and Kristi in Sault Sainte Marie, MI. Gail's sister Martha and her husband Jeff were there with their daughter, Mariana. It was quite a drive...

What to do in the Soo

You can visit the lab where they raise fish (salmon) to research things like water temperature and development.

What to do in the Soo

The research station shares space in a hydro power building.

What to do in the Soo

You can get a tour of Lake Superior State from Geoff and see the lab where they study fish. Those are the fish in the jars.

What to do in the Soo

We went skiing everyday at the cross country ski center near Kristi and Geoff's house. Here Mariana flies past Auntie Gail and her mom.

And they live near a park with swings!

Of course jumping off at the apex of the swing wasn't so smart
