Taking The Long Way Home

We decided to take the long way home from Lutsen.  Traveling up the Caribou Trail we cut across on a logging road in the Superior Forest and came back down the Sawbill Trail.  We went past a wall of boulders covered in snow.
The road was plowed at both ends but not in the middle.
The closer we were to the middle the worse the conditions became.
We saw an owl sitting in the road.  The owl flew up before we got a good look at it.  My guess is a great gray owl.  Here is what the owl was snacking on before we came up on it.
Some parts of this road were scary and some were beautiful. We made it through without having to call for help so I'm glad we went on it.  Traveling this road was a great way to start the month of December.

I have only been to Maplewood State Park once before. The time of the year was autumn and we thought we could snag a campsite. Wrong. Despit...
