Journal Entry – Lake Superior – Day 8
After I got up this morning, I tried to figure my day. Should I stay here and take in the beautiful leaves and hike in Porcupine State park, or should I travel to Medford, Wisconsin. As the sun was coming out from behind the clouds, I decided to stay here, and I am glad that…

Journal Entry – Lake Superior Trip – My Birthday
As for me, it is so great to spend time up here in the colorful wonderland for my birthday. Today was more cloudy than yesterday, so it was not a day to take photo of the colors, but it was a good day for hiking. I guess that I need to back up to last…

Journal Entry – First Day – Snowbird
Although this is not popular with me, I am becoming a snowbird this year. I find it sad, since I enjoy all four seasons, except for muddy April. Without my new home being built, I am heading south. Or, at least far enough south where I can feel comfortable in my trailer. When the temperature…
