In the meantime, I went on a trip! Well, okay, as I write this I'm still on said trip... but it ends today and I'm quite sad. I wish I could stay here longer!! But who doesn't feel that way on vacation?!
Yesterday I posted a few new listings on Etsy and today I'll give you the story behind them!
Just across the road from where we stay there is a set of railroad tracks. I know some of this history of them - used for the transportation of mining materials from the mid-1800's until mid to late 1900's and now used mainly for tourism. There are quite a few rail lines in the area, but the one directly outside our door is used mainly for fun. You can board the train to reach Duluth or take a murder mystery/pizza party/nature inspired trip!
I have, in fact, taken an informative ride on the train years ago. The train doesn't run all the time and I'm not even sure if it runs in the winter. I haven't heard it this entire weekend. But there is something so desolate and eerie about a "deserted" set of railroad tracks. Something so dangerous and daring too.
I took these pictures yesterday as I wandered around the area getting some exercise. I jumped on to the tracks in a few different places to see what the view looked like and snapped a few shots from different angles. The sky has been SO blue up here and the weather, although a little chilly, has been amazing! These two photos are some of my favorites and there are definitely more to follow!
