Snowshoeing on Tischer Creek
All pictures by Steve First we hiked on the creek from Superior Street down to the lake. The building you see is Glensheen Mansion - now owned by UMD (University of MN Duluth) - but previously the home of the Congdons. In fact.... a scandalous murder happened here .... Also the film You'll Like My Mother was shot here. It's a beautiful mansion which I love to tour because I'm a geek like that. Anyway - this creek goes next to the Glensheen property so you get a unique perspective otherwise not available during the summer months. We went down to the lake (Superior, that is) and out a ways. I was a little gunshy though as the cracking noises are disconcerting. Then we hiked upwards - it was gorgeous. We chould've been 75 miles up the north shore! And then! the pine forest!! Incredible. It was a beautiful hike and I hope to explore more of that forest in the summertime. Blizzards are definitely good for something!!
