Here are some shots from our recent tour of the "falls" - Bond Falls and Agate Falls in the Western UP. Temps were about 20 Deg F, even though it looked warmer.

I've been doing father & son trips with my kid for 8 straight years. Please enjoy them while he is young. My son is now going to be 19 and his nick name is " MR. NO IT ALL ". I sure miss those sled trips from the ages of 11-16. Seems like we have been buttin heads ever since the age of 17. Boy these teenage years are ruff,but our sled trips are still GREAT FUN <font color="ff0000">&#149;</font><font color="ff0000">&#149;</font><font color="ff0000">&#149;</font><font color="ff0000">&#149;</font>

As Mark Twain once said, "when I was 17, I thought my father was very dumb but by the time I turned 21 I couldn't believe how much smarter he has gotten in just a few years!" (paraphrasing).
