Sweatshirt Weather

Finally the heat wave ended and we are enjoying a breezy, sunny, 70 degree day. It's still warm for May on the Gunflint Trail but at least it isn't 90 degrees like it was yesterday. The humidity and temperatures in the 80's this past week were unbelievable and they prompted me to start swimming in the Seagull River to cool off. Even the water temperature is warm, much warmer than I've ever felt it in May.

Last night's windstorm blew trees down all over the Gunflint Trail. One almost hit our outfitting building and one did hit a power line. We were without electricity at Voyageur all evening. Good thing we weren't busy or trying to help guests with permits or fishing licenses. All of the automated stuff doesn't work if we don't have power.

We still have vacancies for Memorial Weekend so if you're looking for something to do, then come up and see us. We'd love to have you as our guest.
