2/3/11 Daily Journal

       When you picture beauty, romantic sun sets from the deckof a ship anchored off the coast of the mediterranean; or a nice quiet walk under the moonlight as autum approaches pop into your head. Even as these rank near the top they are not "the most beautiful places" I have had the luxury to experience.
       As I ponder through my thoughts one area seems to stand out amoung all others. Even black hills fail in comparison to this heaven upon earth.  This oasis of wilderness stands apart from all others, the North country, or as others call it; the IRON RANGE is a hidden gem when you think of beauty across america.
       Picture what the americas looked like years ago, before colonialists ever stepped foot upon the sands of this great land. Only a select few areas offer that grace and beauty. I have spent days living off the lands of the boundary waters, and i dont mean sleeping in a tent either. When i say living off the land i mean trusting your life in the hands of mother nature. I can tell you one thing which is for sure, there is no greater experience, than that of a day in the wild.
