The Hjordis approaching the harbor.
The Dockside Fish Market, carrying on the commercial fishing heritage of the North Shore.
Relaxing on the front porch of the Cascade Lodge as the Sun set, I enjoyed reading about its intriguing history. It was one of the historic lodges and resorts we...
From one harbor to another. Several hours after our departure from Duluth, and with the Sun making its way to the Western horizon in the late afternoon, we arrived in Grand Marais. Approximately 110 miles up the North Shore from Duluth, the temperature was nearly 10 degrees cooler in Grand...
Summer Sojourn, Part 1
July, always an exciting and busy time of the year for us for travel and adventures, yet Summer would not feel the same without our usual trip to the North Shore of Lake Superior. And so it was that we journeyed to this, one of our favorite places on earth, these past...
Been on a long trip, and without cell phone or internet access for much of it. Finally catching up to some splendid photos! Well done, gentlemen! Looks like everyone is enjoying a wonderful Summer with nature, family, and our hats, of course!
Alan: Lovely photos, as always. Linen is THE...

My two favorite outdoor performance clothing companies, Arc'teryx, and especially the much smaller Ibex, tend to...
Thanks, Eric, for your very kind words and incredible story! Oh the memories of yesteryear...
I know we will both be glued to TdF coverage for hours on end over the next three weeks...it should be another memorable and epic race. Summer just would not feel the same without this spectacle...
Thanks, Steve! The food was, as always at Luci, sublime...
Thank you, David, I really appreciate your kind words!
Thanks, Perry! I think my days of racing are in the past...too little time for training, and too much at stake with family and work. To think that my teammates and I used...
It was past nine in the evening by race end, and we hurried over to one of our old favorites, Luci Ancora. The restaurant had cleared out by then, and so we enjoyed a leisurely, private supper.
Ivory Salmon, served with oyster mushrooms in a truffle sauce. A wonderful way to end the...
Nature Valley Grand Prix 2011
With the Tour de France only days away, I thought it appropriate to post some photos from the 2011 Nature Valley Grand Prix, a multi-day stage race we look forward to attending each year. Unfortunately, due to having to send Ryan off to music camp this year, we...
