July 5th AM


Today I got up to the warming of the air after a cool night by the shore of Lake Superior. I was hoping to track down Jessi Nicholson, an acupuncturist in Grand Marais for an interview and visit Kristi at the Hovland Art Festival. The morning was spent in Grand Marias finding Jessi and becoming familiar with the small town. In the afternoon I traveled on my bike 15 Miles east to Hovland, for the Art Festival. I walked around the artists who had created Birch Wood canoes, yarn, quilts, photography, jewelry and pottery.

I sat by Kristi as she talked me through the making of a pot. Beth, a friend of Kristi’s and her bookkeeper, chatted with me about the Gunflint Trail, Hovland and adjusting to living back in the town after years on the Trail.
