Hiking - Part 55

 Grand Portage State Park, Minnesota

Grand Portage is a state park on the border between Minnesota and Canada.  Above, Jim Tighe stands by a park sign explaining how questions about that portion of the border were resolved peacefully in 1842 between the U.S. and Britain.  (Canada was still a British colony in 1842.  It did not become an independent country until 1867).

Today's post is about a naked hike that Jim Tighe did in Grand Portage State Park, with photos from Jim's site on Flickr.  Jim is a long-time naturist, and he is happy to let other websites like ours use his nude photos online.

Above, Jim poses next to a sign for the Spur Trail.

The Spur Trail goes up to a ridge with views.  Here, Jim is looking east to Lake Superior.

Here, Jim is looking west across the Pigeon River into Canada.

Then Jim turns around with Canada behind him.

This is the start of the Middle Falls Loop Trail.

Jim follows the Middle Falls trail.

Here he is by the Middle Falls of the Pigeon River.

Jim continues up the trail.

Eventually  it leads to an overlook of the High Falls of the Pigeon River.

We end with Jim at the "selfie station" on the Pigeon River.  There is a little stand here where you can place your camera on a timer, then stand by the sign and get your picture taken.  Canada is on the other side of the river.
