Gooseberry Falls

After traumatizing the cats with pulling in slides and starting up the engine we headed north for our first day of adventure at Gooseberry Falls.

We arrived and set up....ooops, no hookups.  Kinda forgot about that.  Oh well, we'll make do.

The first thing we did was hike down to the falls to explore.

Yup.  We're the kind of grandparents that let the kids play on the edge of the falls.

They run much faster in the spring, so this is not the most dramatic time of year to view them, but they were still fun to see.

the girls had to hold the rocks up  with their brute strength

Thank goodness we had reservations because the campground is full, mostly tents and small trailers.

After we returned we sat outside to have a family council and decide if we really wanted to stay here for two more nights.  It didn't take long to learn that one night was plenty and we were ready to head to Grand Marais for a three day stay. 

By cutting this short we also will get four days in Thunder Bay and that is the real destination anyway, so this is a good thing.

All went well.  No fights.  No cats escaped.

Long Live the Queen of the Waterfalls
