This is another photo from the town in Minnesota where I grew up. Grand Marais is one of the entry points into to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW). When I was growing up, this was where you started. They have since changed the entry point and the last time I was home, the bear and the canoe were in great disrepair. When I was home this summer, I was very happy to see that they have been restored. This was always such a big part of town. The house in the background is the house where I lived growing up. While my family no longer lives in that house, many wonderful memories do.

Great pic. I spent a lot of time walking down to your house to meet Kaye. Such wonderful memories of good times.
Thanks, Judy. We will always have those wonderful memories.
Oh my! That looks like such an idyllic spot to grow up. Did you do a lot of canoeing?
It was a great place to grow up. We spent many a summer canoeing on the lakes in the Boundary Waters and other lakes.
