On the Arrowhead of Minnesota
Before we left Duluth and Minnesota we yearned to get up into a little bit of the remote country on the Arrowhead of the state that juts out into Lake Superior. We found a Fish Smokehouse in Knife River, MN and a State Park further north that appeared to have several hiking trails to choose from and off we went.
First stop Gooseberry Falls State Park. Heading up to the Upper Falls and a 1-Mile Hiking Loop to an Overlook at Lake Superior.
We paused at a bronze memorial for the CCC workers of time gone by to appreciate the values and accomplishments of those so dedicated to our country.

The Upper Falls a roarin'
Gari leads the way past the exposed roots to the Overlook Trail.
Lots of Birch way up here.
Gari stopped to investigate one of the trail shelters.
At the Lake Superior overlook viewing northward.
Gari stands in cooperatively at the overlook.
Heading back a break in the trail growth provides a scenic peek of the river.
A honey bee at work.
On the way back to camp we stopped at the Fish Smoke House in Knife River. We believe some of the nicest people in the world are found here.... and the best tasting fish!
Steve has his prize back at camp and will eat it outside to spare Gari the olfaction.
The prize revealed, a Smoked Lake Superior Whitefish. That is one happy man below!
He ate the whole 1.5 lb treat!
Next Stop Nekoosa, WI to stop in and visit with our pal Wisconsin Dale.
