Mon 20 Jun

We were blessed with a lovely, sunny day for our first hiking day. We had a very good breakfast at the restaurant at 8:00 and were ready to set out by 9:00. We did the same route we liked so well last year, walking up the Cascade River along the waterfalls and back down the other side. Both sides are variable up and down so there's a lot of variety. Takes us about 5 1/2 hours plus half an hour for sack lunch along the way. We came back to the room for a nap afterward. I expect we"ll head in to Grand Marais in a bitto bum around before dinner.

They're predicting thunderstorms tomorrow but I'm holding out hope that we"ll get clear weather to hike in the morning.


Food:

8:00. 2 egg omelet, mushrooms, tomato, peppers, Swiss cheese, 2 pc wheat toast, butter, marmalade, coffee, 1/4 c Dad's oatmeal
12:00 pm. Turkey, Swiss cheese, lettuce, tomato, 2 slices whole wheat bread, am orange, chocolate chip cookie, bottle water
2:30 pm. Snickers bar
