Aug 5---Hungry Jack


It was about 52 outside and 62 inside the trailer. I did put the furnace on to take the chill off.  I started loading It wasn’t quite as chilly this morning when I got up. up everything a little at a time getting ready to leave. We were not in a big hurry as we only had about a 3 hour drive up to Hungry Jack.  We left about 10:30. It was a beautiful drive along the north shore of Lake Superior. The weather was great, 70 degrees and clear blue skies. We ate lunch in Grand Marais and then headed to Hungry Jack Lodge. It is located about 32 miles up on the Gunflint Trail in the Boundary Waters. The drive was pretty and we gained 1100 feet in altitude. We are definitely in the North Woods now. There are many pretty small lakes up here that you can canoe or kayak.  We got to Hungry Jack Lodge and it was better than we ever expected. It has a great lodge and great owners. Hungry Jack Lake is awesome. This place is already on our list of places we will come back to sometime. There is no cell phone service here but there is wi=fi at the lodge. It was a chilly evening and we built a nice fire to sit by.



The next morning I got up and it was about 55 degrees. We decide to just chill out at camp all day and do nothing. I’m really good at that. Took a nap in the middle of the day and then watched the Olympics. We have to get up early tomorrow because Susan has a dentist appointment in Ely.
