One of the nicest spots on the North Shore of Lake Superior is Grand Marais, Minnesota. This small town is 100 miles up the shore from my home at the northern edge of Duluth. Since I was a little boy, my family has come up to this region. When I was in junior high, on busy holiday weekends my brother and I would help friends who ran a business right on the Canadian border. Given the Pandemic there is no border traffic, but after work we we loved fishing  on the Pigeon River just downriver from High Falls (park did not exist back then). Occasionally if the weather allowed, we would take the small 12 footer out on to Lake Superior in search of Lake Trout.

My point in my preamble is to demonstrate my family has history in this area, and a deep love of the region. Two days ago I photographed the small lighthouse that guards the harbor … 12 hours apart. In between it stormed like crazy till the sun finally returned two hours before sunset.

Finally … good news coming. Hoot will have a second printing. Expect the formal announcement in a day or two. Reserve your copy. They sold out fast in the first printing. Anyone on the list (see form) is guaranteed to Hoot!
