The word is that people are encouraged to detour around Duluth today.  We don’t exactly know HOW the detours are playing out, but we do know that people have been able to travel safely around the disaster area.    Boy, our hearts go out to those people reeling from the floods.  (check out the link for flooding photos), including the seals until they were returned safely to the zoo.

Cook County travel is fine, the phones, and internet are all back in service.
Tuscarora and our trees are soaking up the water, as the woods always do.
The path up to my favorite overlook on the Magnetic Rock trail was like a little stream this afternoon. Only Denali’s waterdish overflowed….  and we’re all looking forward to some sun tomorrow.
