North Shore beauty

  It happens every autumn. The first rush of dry, cool air stirs up thoughts of fall colors and a trip to the North Shore. My girlfriend Deb and I were there this past weekend, enjoying perfect weather and the full spectrum of fall colors.

  It's just a short drive up Highway 61 from Lutsen to the beautiful town of Grand Marais. The photo below shows the entrance to Grand Marais harbor. The Sawtooth Mountains, including Oberg Mountain, can be seen in the distance:


   It was a fun trip…we’ll be back!
