Everything You Need You Can Find on The Highway: Photos From Various Day Trips (hiking, driving, canoeing, biking)

Most of these photos were taken by my boyfriend, a few by myself. These are all day trips we took to various places. Sometimes it was just driving around exploring the countryside and the north woods. Other times it was extensive hikes or canoeing or mountain biking. This is how we discovered a lot of gems. It's how we really found out about the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness up north. I will go more into that in another post. Just wanted to share more of God's wonderful imagination and creativity....

Taken in 2005 at Wisconsin Point. This is when there was a great influx of Great Gray Owls from Canada coming down to Northern Minnesota in search of food. There was a shortage of moles in their usual habitat. There were thousands of these magnificant birds all over the place for a short time.
