Report by
Spring is just beginning here
in Cook County. On the Pike Lake
Road we saw a few
Bloodroot, some
Spring Beauty, two yellow
violets and one or two
Wood Anemones. We then went
up the Gunflint Trail, past the
second set of brown signs and
were treated to many
Trailing Arbutus.
Lunch at Kimball Campground
where we saw our first loon of
the season.

throughout the Summer to see our weekly
wildflower reports from
Lorraine Anderson of Grand
Marais, Minnesota.
