Such a beautiful day for a day hike. This is my favorite time of the year, and here in Wisconsin we have to enjoy it while we can. The snow will be flying all too soon.

All good points, and the 'wars for oil' thing is too much overlooked. Without demand for oil Russia is just a large but toothless paper tiger. Mohammed Bin Salman The Murderer becomes a pathetic beggar.

Supreme Court Justices who support a President who committed treason should be impeached.

Checking the news to see how many casualties in this organized terrorist attack out there in Oregon.

I've said it before. He thinks he is somebody. When the dictator dies he'll find out he's just a splotch of birdshit on the sidewalk.

The bumble bees and bugs are buzzing busily among the blossoms today, along the trail.

I absolutely agree. Any financial wins they think they have negotiated will simply be impounded by the dictator.

Maybe the most horrific American story of the day...but the day is still young.

Conservatives are dead set against government handouts, unless its to farmers, most of whom are large landholders these days, and overwhemingly vote MAGA.

A peaceful little kettle pond along the trail. Yesterday I did 6.5 miles as fast as I could, carrying a partial pack for practice. Today I took my time for 4 miles, enjoying the beautiful autumn day here in Wisconsin.

Okay...but then George let Mike go on and on blaming Dems for the goverment shutdown. But GOP controls both houses of Congress and the White House! So why didn't George put a stop to that ramble?

Many thanks to the Ojibwa for allowing us to pass through their beautiful land at Grand Portage, MN. I drove up the North Shore of Lake Superior on my trip to Isle Royale a few weeks ago. Check out this view from an overlook along hwy 61 near the Canadian Border.

Went to Cranfest in Warrens, WI the annual cranberry festival and HUGE flea market. Had cranberry coffee, cranberry scones, cranberry fritters, cranberry juice, cranberry jubilee, and this morning cranberry jam on my toasted bagel. And dried cranberries make great trail snacks!

God, I pray you will allow me to predict that RFK Jr will perform a miracle. He will make all the stupid humans disappear (in the next pandemic).

Did you know there are elk in Wisconsin? Here is part of the herd in the beautiful Black River State Forest (the pic is from my camping trip last year). There is another herd in the Clam Lake area of the Chequamegon National Forest. The herds have been growing.

The view from the top of Castle Mound near Black River Falls, WI. Fall colors starting to show up. In addition to the climb to the top, I got in a nice 2.5 mile hike after attending Cranfest in Warrens, WI.

Check out the Chevrolet Equinox EV or the Blazer EV. They're really nice. And I saw a Chevrolet Silverado EV pickup truck next to me at a charging station recently. Awesome! 440 miles of range and just beautiful!

Here is Voyageur II arriving to pick us up from Isle Royale NP. Its a 2 hour ride across Lake Superior back to Grand Portage, MN. I hiked 31 miles in 3 days with a 20 pound pack, and slept outside in my hammock. My reward? Memories.

Last Thursday I arrived back at Windigo, the starting and ending point for my 31 mile backpacking loop in Isle Royale NP in Lake Superior. 3 days of hiking and 1 morning just hanging out waiting for the boat back to Grand Portage, MN. Great hike!

We don't get much elevation gain here in the Midwest. It quickly gets to where I need to stop for a breather every 20 steps. πŸ˜…

This tree wants to stand apart high on a ridge on Isle Royale NP. It needs to bend with the winds coming off Lake Superior, strong and resilient, so as not to break. There might be a lesson there.
