The 'cliff' we jumped off of. The ledge is almost halfway up on the left side of the photo.

My Mother, Miranda, and I went for a quick camping trip to a fun little campsite up a river across Island Lake. Odie behaved well on our travel across the lake. Real nice Pine needle floored campsite. There was a rope swing nearby also. Highly recommend unmarked campsite @ GPS 47°1'36"N 92°4'56"W.

Erin and Jon took us for a quick hike up at Jay Cooke State Park. We walked along the sharp rocks of the St Louis River. There was speculation that it may be possible to cross the river along a stretch of large rocks in the river. I took it upon myself to try, and learned a good lesson

We took a short hike in the woods behind our house. About a mile away there are cool boulders to climb on in the middle of a good sized urban forest. They also found a GeoCache that my mother had hidden back there.

June 7th-8th:
My mother, Miranda, and I had planned a canoe crossing to Sand Island from Meyers Beach but my mother's large puppy wouldn't sit nice, so we decided to go hiking instead. The only mainland campsite was 4.6 miles from Meyers beach. Didn't sound like much, but there were huge hills the entire way. Real nice terrain and views though. Also the campsite was great, right on a private sand beach. The title image at the top of this diary is a sunset Miranda photographed from our campsite. Learned my lesson about overpacking gear
