up north

I spent the last three days in up northwestern Wisconsin, on Lake Superior, for work. The weather was gorgeous, we canoed the Brule River and visited an island in the St. Louis River Estuary by tour boat, and had dinner one night in a beautiful old mansion that was built by a lumber baron in the late 1800's. The opportunity to spend time outdoors with people who are passionate about the land and water we help protect is one of my favorite parts of my job.
