Lake Superior Frozen

[caption id="attachment_810" align="alignnone" width="500" caption="Very Frozen Lake Superior"][/caption] We headed up to Washburn this weekend along Lake Superior, where some coach decided it was a good idea to sign up for a basketball tournament in January. Grumble Grumble..... The sights along the way made up for a early morning drive. I took this picture just outside of Ashland, Washburn is on the far shoreline. I did not see any cars out on the big lake but lots of snowmobiles [caption id="attachment_812" align="alignnone" width="500" caption="Artesian Spring"][/caption] During a break in the Basketball action, we wandered around Washburn which has some very interesting history. We headed out on a Geocache adventure to find this Artesian Spring. Did not bring the water jugs to fill, but we did taste the water and it was as cold as it looks.

I do know I would not be the first one to blaze the trail. We hope to return to this area a little later when the ice caves are accessible. Basketball ended up in 4th place out of 8 and got to play a team from Duluth that I am sure were recruits from the NBA....
