Crazy girls, I said "Why don't you go sit in those chairs and I will take your picture." Mary was out the door and up the hill before I could blink, the others followed. I should of taken a video as they got up in the chair, but I was laughing too hard to even think of it! Edith Ann x 3!!

We are headed for 2 days in Grand Marais. As we get closer the fog rolls on in.
We had a late lunch at Naniboujou Lodge, north of Grand Marais. This historic lodge was first conceived in the 1920's as an ultra-exclusive private club. Babe Ruth, Jack Dempsey and Ring Lardner were among it's charter members.When the stock market crashed on "Black Friday" precipitating the 1929 Depression, the club began to fail. Today you will find an exiting, revitalized Naniboujou!Still reflecting the aura of the 1920's. It is on the National Register of Historic Places.
The lodge boasts Minnesota's largest native rock fireplace, a 200 ton work of art that stands in the 30 x 80 foot Great Hall.
