A North Shore Dream


With all the crazy, awful things going on in the world today, I’m not sure it’s really appropriate to daydream about material things that are so outside the realities of a worldwide pandemic. On the other hand, it does feel a little therapeutic to briefly escape from all the anxiety and think about a different, calmer life. The North Shore of Lake Superior has always been one of those escapes for me and I could easily envision spending the rest of my life on that lake:

  • Design and build a not-so-big log cabin
  • Stone fireplace and large picture window
  • Screen porch to manage the flying bugs
  • Heated floors for warm feet in the winter
  • Fast internet (but no phones)
  • Nice speakers to play the North Shore playlist
  • Wooded lot with shoreline
  • Wildflowers and hummingbirds
  • Detached garage with exercise area/game room
  • Guest cottages for SK and MK
  • Family kayaks
  • Access to the SHT and bike trails
  • Golf at Superior National
  • Skiing at Lutsen Mountains
  • Gaming at Grand Portage
  • Concerts at Papa Charlie’s

Ahh…
