Sunday, March 29th Schoolcraft State Park

The weather has taken a turn for the cold. Two days prior to a major blizzard here with temps in the 30's. We pretended our lives depended on being able to read the weather signs. We came up with (well...Rod came up with) the horsetail clouds and the subtle shade of gray to our west. I came up with the hat and mittens I'd brought along cuz I was COLD. We didn't have MY car (with the thermometer and STATE PARK PERMIT, so we had to guess at the temp (38??) and buy another PERMIT. Now we have one on each of our cars. Now, for the math. $25 +$25 = $50 divided by 4 = $12.50!

This park is touted as "The quiet park" and lives up to that with it's high canopy and thick mulch. We walked about 1/2 mile along a trail next to the Mississippi River. We saw an adult eagle, several Canada Geese and heard some crows. We saw some cool deer tracks that were frozen under some ice on the trail. I also saw what had to be a moose track. It was almost as big as my foot. We had bought some deli lunch fodder from Cub and ate at a sunny picnic table. It was 75 miles from home and took us about 1 1/2 hours to drive there up Hwy 6 north of Remer.
