The Apostle Islands off of Lake Superior are the closest thing Minnesota has to the sea. It is where I will be for the next three days. I was supposed to leave yesterday but I have a horrible sore throat. Okay this may not be the best time to sleep in the woods but I need to go. So picture me here. I will be surrounded by water and sun. A four hour car ride is the closest I could get to salt. You dont understand if you think this is easy.
