The Woodshed - Superior National Forest

How'd you get here?

Moose
Tracks

This was taken along Forest Road 152 in the spring of 1994. This poor cow moose ran in front of our truck for about 2 miles. She was moving too... we clocked her at 25 mph!

This road should go all the way from the Gunflint Trail to the Sawbill Trail and beyond, but it doesn't. Why? See the map below. Where there once was a bridge, now there is none (though I believe that it actually used to be a railroad bridge.)

The day we went adventuring down FR 152 for the first time, we were camping at Two Island Lake, and it looked on the map like this road went right through. NOT!! It ends at the ruins of the Pine Trestle Bridge, and we had to drive all the way back to the Gunflint Trail and around the horn (about 30 miles out of the way) to get back to our campsite. Talk about frustrating! You could almost yell to a person at Two Island from the point where 152 ends and they'd hear you!

Note: Though we've never fished here, we've seen lots of people fishing in the vicinity of the blown out bridge, so we assume that there's some pretty good fishing. FR 1365 gets mighty narrow as it nears Pine Lake though, so I wouldn't advise driving anything too cumbersome down it.

The photo of the moose was taken with a Honeywell Pentax SP-1000 (Spotmatic) camera using an 80-200mm zoom lens and Kodacolor Gold 200 film.

The digital image was created by having it put on on Photo CD, then converting and retouching it using Corel Photo Paint 5 and Paint Shop Pro for Windows.
