Where we went:
Fall seems to be just around the corner. There are some Moose Maples
beginning to show color. It always seems sad to have summer end but fall
is so gorgeous. Along the roadways we see Goldenrod, purple & white Asters
and Pearly Everlasting.
The plants and the forest are getting ready for fall. We had our picnic
lunch in a clearing off of Bally Creek Road. It was so beautiful there
that we plan to go there next week.

Gunflint Trail, Lima Mt Road, Lima Grade, South Brule Road, Devils Track
