public milling about recreating isn&#8217;t necessarily an ideal equation I suppose. \u00a0One can image and dream though.<\/p>\n<p>I still maintain this would be a wonderful location of an expansive wayside rest with a short trail upstream along the cascading waterfalls and another down to Lake Superior. \u00a0Beautiful views of the waterfalls, river and the numerous wildflowers in full bloom made this an easy decision to turn around, park and explore further.<\/p>\n<p>Schroder, just up the road, is another great place to stop. \u00a0There is a pretty good set of cascades on the Cross

Candid photography is a passion of mine. Capturing a specific moment in time\u2026the un-posed and unplanned, immediate and unobtrusiveness of candids is a thrill unsurpassed by all other types of photography in my opinion. Nature photography and capturing the WI &amp; MN country sides is my current focus. I very much enjoy photographing old farmsteads, barns and other historic places with my lovely and talented wife Cyndie.
