After a year of endless summer we are more than ready to settle into the glorious autumn and winter in Minnesota. What better place than Gunflint?
The requisite fall mushroom porn:
We ate all of these and lived to tell the tale.
L to R: King Bolete, Sulfur Shelf, Puffballs and Chaga

Relaxing on our dock after the hike.

A trip to Gunflint wouldn't be complete without a stop in charming Grand Marais, where we caught this schooner leaving the harbor.
Pure Gunflint magic....
