Everyone's got some favorite places. Close your eyes and let your mind wander and you'll find yourself thinking of them, remembering what it felt like the last time you were there, what made that time special...what made it a favorite. Friday my lady, Jordan, and I are all heading up to one of ours. Minnesota's north shore. Yeah, yeah. If you're biker folks you know about the North Shore of British Columbia. Freeriding. Hucking. Chucking. All that good stuff. Well Minnesota has a north shore too. It is bordered on the east by the big lady herself, Lake Superior. To the north, the Boundary Waters and Ontrario and the good people of Thunder Bay. To the west, miles and miles of deep woods, lakes, rivers, and streams. Minnesota's north shore is where moose live. And wolves for that matter. There is good mountain bike riding on our north shore too. We don't have the total gnarl of BC, but we have some fun chairlift riding and better yet, some good ol' original getting out in the woods mountain biking. You need a sense of adventure though. The trails aren't highways, are often unmarked and are easy to get lost in. For me, life slows down on the Minnesota north shore. It reminds me that I'm just a small creature in a big landscape. That I'm like a drop of water in the big waters of the Gitchee Gumee. I feel a part of nature there. I feel alive. -Kid Posted by Salsa Kid : 5:40 PM 0 comments | permalink  |
