Last night, as I was driving back from an evening at the NICU with Luke & Leo , I was reminded that 2-13-09 was the 100 year anniversary of the Superior National Forest. The radio guy said that Teddy Roosevelt signed it's national status Feb 13,1909.Those of you that are not aware, we are owners of 20 acres in the Superior National Forest. No fancy log cabin, but we do have a cozy little place to stay. Over the last few years my visits "up north" have been pretty limited due to several factors mostly of which involve my little buddy John. Before John and even before Angela I spent a boat load of time up north. I Enjoyed everything from improving the land, building stuff, exploring, days of reflection, grouse hunting and lots and lots of fishing.
These days my up north time has favorably shifted more to my family. Yes, I still fish, hunt, hang out in the woods a bit, but my family is usually close by. I do though look forward to the day when the two will meet and we can enjoy the great outdoors together. Teaching our boys about our forests & waters is sure going to be neat. However, Angela says I need to wait several years before applying for a BWCA (Boundary Waters Canoe Area) permit. In the mean time I sure do enjoy the winter nights imagining all the fun to come.
The above shot was taken a few miles from our land. My dad and I were on our way to a morning trout fishing adventure...
