Grand Marais trip.

[jlemieu1]

Here is a couple pictures of my trip to Grand Marais, MN on 3/6 - 3/8/09.
Day1 - Gunflint trail through BWCA to the Canada border. We also ran to Lusten for dinner.
Day2 - Down North Trail shore to just past Silver Bay. The trails dropped from very good to poor in a 2 miles strech just outside Silver Bay.
Day3 - Rode and GPS mapped all the entire Grand Portage trails system. Make sure to ride to the trail to the border. There are two very cool unmarked yet groomed trails with GREAT views.

The new Hungry Jack being built. They still have 24 hr gas there.

Here is a shoot showing the edge of the big fire. The US side was ok but the Canada was completely burnt.

The deer are very tame at the Gunflint Lodge

Oh man I love the Trestle Inn, especially that burger they have with the egg on it. I think it's called the Trestle Burger?

Everything is great there. I never had anything bad there. My favorite is tap root beer in the frosty mug.
