Probably my last trip up for the season- took my dog and father in law up near Crisp Point lighthouse on Lake Superior. Miles and miles of trail and forest service roads out there. It’s over an hour drive on sandy seasonal roads just to get to the head of the trail I like to follow down to the lake to make camp. That trail is a few miles long and mostly packed sand that winds over some rocky stuff then goes up and down over old dunes that are now forested with pines up until about 50 yards from the shoreline. Lots of exposed old tree roots make a fun drive and help in the deeper sand.

We camped just behind the dune immediately adjacent to the water. Great spot sheltered from the wind for a couple of nights. Hoped to see the aurora but we either weren’t in a good viewing location or we went inside the tent too early. Will still settle for the leaves changing colors and the way the night sky looks out there any day over almost anything else.
