On the way up, we stopped at a rest area for a drink:
Brian wanted to do the majority of the driving, so my role was that of providing entertainment (interesting conversation, DJ skills, etc.), navigation, and wildlife watching. Usually that last one refers to me telling Brian to slow down so he doesn't hit the animal on the side of the road that might jump out in front of him (even though this "animal" frequently turns out to be litter).But not always! I yelled at him to stop because a turtle was in the road. We had to turn around, and he hadn't moved. He was right in line of the tires, and showed no sign on moving! So Brian helped him along:
Once placed in the grass, he scampered away to safety:
Finally, we arrived at our destination. Here is the view of Lake Superior from the porch of the cabin:

The sauna, right on the beach:
Brian, looking out at the lake from the beach:
We were tired from driving all day, so just had a frozen pizza for dinner. And some beer!
Then we got a bit of reading and/or video game playing done (I will leave it to your imagination as to which one of us did which of those things!) and went to bed.We got up several times during the night to go out to the beach and look at the night sky. Because there is so little light pollution here, especially compared to where we live, we saw so many stars. It was amazing. Unfortunately, this was the only night cloudless enough for us to do this, so it's a good thing we did so, even though we were tired!
