There was a plaque at the top as well as this marker.

Even after 7 years since the wind storm in the BWCAW, there is still evidence that it occurred.

Friends of Joe's, Toan and Thang, came up from the Cities for the day, so we all went up to Soudan to check out some bat caves and go for a little hike. We didn't see any bats, but the three caves we checked out were neat. We were toasty after the hike so we went to an old mine pit nearby to swim. There's a nice cliff there that you can jump off of at many different hieghts. We all went off at least once.

Afterwords, Toan, Thang, Tim and I went out into the woods behind the house and had a Campfire Dinner.
P.S.
Caves Near: 47°49'18"N 92°13'56"W

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.
