I’m not sure what it is about a place that resonates within a person.The big lake that reminds us that everything is small in comparison. The Saw tooth mountain ridge with views and hawks flying south in the fall. The endless scenery on the drive north to Canada. Being around like minded people that seem to think correctly in a ever changing crazy world. The awareness of the seasons and weather that you don’t get in a city setting. The timeless feeling that a wild area gives you when you understand your only here for a tiny period of time and that rock your standing on is millions of years old basalt. I’m sure it’s a combination of everything stated above. Our daily concerns are really nothing. The big upset at work or home is nothing but a minor hiccup in time. Get in the car and drive up the North shore and see the colors and feel the crisp clean air. Yes I’m more then ready for a drive to the border and back this coming week. Photos are provided thankfully by the local live cams which provide wonderful views while your at the desk doing the daily grind on the computer.

you have a great understanding of what the lake means. I just love to stand on its shore. I will be heading to cornucopia WI over the halloween weekend. I hope that carries me through the winter until i can return.
Love your blog !
Timeless is correct!
All our problems are small in comparison.
People are too much into their possessions and troubles. If they could only get into the car and see the big picture that is the North shore of Minnesota. It will change you for awhile. If your able to let it all go.
