We took the Iron Ore Trail through Marquette and several tiny lakeside towns. Other than the initial cyclo-cross construction portion, the Iron Ore was a fast gravel trail with abundant wildlife: deer, fox, and turkey sightings today.

Things went to plan more or less: less time getting here, more time hunting down the church. It will never again be said that I arrived at a church at the same time as Jeff Gabriel.

Eden Evangelical Lutheran Church was hidden alright. And with a lakeside view! I’m writing this laying on my couch looking out a wall of windows onto Lake Superior. All the beauty and none of the mosquitoes. Tempted to stay here and just make up future blog posts.
