Last weekend Jon and I headed to the Gunflint Trail with our good friends Leah and Jere for our 3rd annual yurt trip. For those of you who aren't familiar with yurts - they have long been the traditional nomadic home for Mongolians and many other Central Asians. They are easily deconstructed and moved so that nomadic people can follow their animals to different pastures. Jon and I stayed in many yurts when we were in Mongolia in 2002. This was our 3rd trip to Minnesota's version of a yurt. We go there to ski, drink beer, relax, and enjoy the solitude of the Northwoods. We accomplished that again this year with lots of skiing, several bulldogs (as evidenced by the picture of Jere) and many laughs. Thanks for kicking my butt in hearts and for the late night skis with only 3 headlights (Jon had to stumble along between us). For those of you looking for a similiar experience, look up Boundary Country Trekking and tell Ted that you are interested in the Tall Pines Yurt. Its a blast!
