Well, well it's mid August. I was out of my typical work week last week because Sir Ross and I took a mini vacation up to the Boundary Waters in northern Minnesota. It was so needed and absolutely breathtaking. We had planned to go up there and do a typical loop route that would have us canoeing and portaging each day. However, when we put on our packs and then tried to carry the canoe, we realized the canoe was not very portage-able. As other canoeists threw their canoes up on their shoulders in a swift movement, we struggled as a two person team to get that bad boy onto Ross' shoulders. So we decided to only do a few portages and travel to a lake further into the BWCA and camp there for three nights. It was exactly the trip we wanted.
We set up camp, swam, canoed, fished, ate and drank coffee and wine. We went to bed when the sun went down and woke with her as well. We had slow mornings that faded into various day adventures and evenings with our heads tilted back trying to pick out constellations. Needless to say, I did not want to head back to the cities. Who knows, maybe northern Minnesota is in the cards as a place for us to live?
