Yesterday was the Minnesota deer opener which brought our first day of snow here in Ely, Minnesota! The temperature hovered around 30 degrees all day and the Northwest wind blew strong, making it challanging to sit in a tree stand all day. Just earlier this week we were getting teased with having days of sun and 65 degrees! Good thing we got all of our fall clean-up/closing down of the cabins/boats all done. We always say it's a strange feeling to put everything away and then to think that we will be re-opening in 6 months. Bear Paw (otherwise known as Cabin #1) will be getting it's remodel this winter/spring. That's the last lakeside cabin to get the full remodel. All the lakeside cabins are light & bright with new windows, doors, furniture & appliances.
Other years we've seen snow before halloween. This picture was from mid October 2006. There was enough snow for Jim and Gavin to build a snowman on one of our rocks in the center circle.
This halloween the kids actually got to wear their costumes with just a layer of clothes underneath and NO coat/hat/mittens needed! That's a first in a long time! Here are the pumpkins we carved this halloween. We picked them up from a farmer's market while we were in Wisconsin while Jim was attending a Federation of Fly Fishers Master Casters Workshop.
