I know, this is the Skiers Journal, and I am sitting with Mica in a boat. It will not be long, however, before all that water starts to evaporate into the cold dry air, blanketing the Lake Superior Basin with layers of snow. This is my first blog entry. The point of this blog is to let our friends and family follow along on our 6 month journey this winter. We are leaving Grand Marais in search of the steep and deep. We will depart near the end of October and hopefully be able to add to this blog every week or so. We like visitors, so if you know someone who has too much time on their hands and wants to read this blog...pass it along.
