> Schooner and Storm Clouds, North House Folk School; Grand Marais, Minnesota The North House Folk School teaches just about any traditional craft and trade you might think of. In summer and fall, they offer rides on their schooner, too. But a December boat ride just before a snowstorm wasn't an option! http://www.northhouse.org/

> Cut Face Creek; Cook County, Minnesota Most of the year, Cut Face Creek doesn't have a lot of flow. During spring runoff and after a big thunderstorm, however, it can turn into a torrent. Those rare times of heavy flow expose these sandstone cut banks. Sandstone is a rare thing along the North Shore of Lake Superior where nearly all the rock is volcanic with basalt and rhyolite very common. In fact, the sandstone here is made of old rhyolite grains. You can find fossil ripple marks on loose stones. They come from beaches that vanished over a billion years ago.

> Mesabi Miner Unloading Coal; Taconite Harbor, Minnesota The Mesabi Miner is another of the 1004 foot lake boats. She was built in 1977 and christened in Duluth, Minnesota. You can see a bit of her self-unloading boom swung to the starboard side to discharge coal for the power plant. For more info on the Mesabi Miner, have a look at: http://www.boatnerd.com/pictures/fleet/mesabi.htm Nobody lives at Taconite Harbor anymore. It was once a taconite loading facility with a small company town. The loading facility shut down many years ago. Nowadays, it serves as a coal fired power plant.
