Spring Has Sprung

Yeseterday and today certainly feel like spring in Grand Marais. Yesterday is the first time I've desended Sable Falls steps this spring. There is quite a bit of ice on the steps, which makes it tricky getting down. It was worth it, though. It was a beautiful evening to spend on the beach with a temperature in the mid 50s and calm wind. There is still some ice on shore in spots, but there are rocks exposed all along the beach. Unfortuantely, the rock piles are not as high as they have been in past years.
