Never sailed it but IMHO found some of the most beautiful scenery in the
country. Prolly a bit nippy this time of year.

We sail on Lake Superior, we live on the boat in the summer time. Did the
geat circle loop last year, nothing like the fresh water of Superior!!!!

My Minnesotian nephew used to have a tee-shirt that said:

MINNESOTA...
spring, summer, fall, winter, winter, winter

Minnesotans and Yoopers are fond of claiming they have 9 months of winter
and 3 months of bad sledding.

No need for air conditioning, eh?

Don't you mean ''10,000 lakes''?

'1000 Islands' is on the St. Lawrence, up by Martin (Ontario).

Sometimes Georgian Bay, an arm of L. Superior, is referred to as "The other 1000 Islands", it's really beautiful country. It's not really any colder
there in the summer than Lake Michigan where Katy sails, just "shorter", (the summer that is).

You need a decimal point. There aren't that many mosquitos on Earth.

The furthest north I've been recently is Georgian Bay, I agree with Marty
it's a beautiful area, but that water is damn cold, even in August!

i also have some startling photos of the badlands

after that: several times work related and with students
no, i never made it to chief crazy horse or mt. rushmore for that matter.
crow dogs paradise is a special unknown place on the lakota res.
but you'll have to find it on your own!

Finding things on your own when you're not Lakota could be problematic....we
bought some stuff at the store there (and took a picture of a cow standing
on top of a 12 ft pile of rubble). Very friendly to me in that store, but
not to Mr Sails....

i would not recomend looking for the place i mentioned
it is a sacred lakota place
and i was only there by special invitation
i have most always found the lakota to be friendly and helpful
some are not and the bitterness is evident.
and i would say understandable.
