Lake Superior Adventure

As we continue our trip in Northern Minnesota for our Honeymoon, we try out our new hammocks and had somewhat a tough time foraging firewood, luckily under branches and standing dead trees were about. They ain’t tellin a lie when they say back country. Utilized our rope to tie up our food for safety. Excellent hiking and solitary location. For lovers of nature and roughing it.
