I spent an exciting weekend at Lake Vermillion. During three days I hiked in Bear Head Lake State Park, boated on Lake Vermillion, camped on a quiet island, grocery shopped in town, kayaked both with and without my children, walked a portage into the BWCA, fished with my son, swam and waded in the lake, made smores on an open fire, went on the Soudan Underground Mine tour, finished “Forever Peace”, by Joe Haldeman, and started “The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt” by Edmund Morris. Did I mention it’s 4 hours by car so I also drove up there and back?

What a weekend! I thought about planting a letterbox or geocache while I was out but just couldn’t find the time.
