Friday Friends - Lake Superior

Today I'm heading north with three guys from church. We're going to be enjoying the beauty of Lake Superior and the Superior National Forest. We'll also be enjoying the company of good friends.

I'm looking forward to the hours of conversation and I'm quite confident that a number of world problems will be solved during our deliberations. Hopefully, we won't create any new ones.

Trips like this do so much to grow relationships stronger and deeper. Some of the things on my things to do list for the weekend include hiking a few peaks, fishing and canoeing Nine-Mile Lake, cooking and sitting around campfires, and enjoying a few restaurants. Other less strenuous activities I have in mind for the weekend include sleeping, reading, sleeping, and reading, and then sleeping.

If you've never been to the North Shore of Lake Superior in mid to late August, you've got to give it a try. The air is crisp with hints of Autumn in the air. Bugs are gone for the most part, and the cool night sleeping is absolutely great (especially if you're in a camper with a furnace like I will be).

Here's to a great weekend!
