GUNFLINT CRITTERS AND OTHER NORTH WOOD WONDERS

The best way to describe GUNFLNT CRITTERS AND OTHER NORTH WOOD WONDERS or what was the inspiration behind it is instant love!  In 1999 in spite of the ‘Mother Nature Blow down welcome committee’ and being stranded on the Gunflint Trail for 3 ½ hours.  The smell, the beauty, the serenity and wilderness enticed me with a desire to spend more time on the Gunflint and explore its roughed ness.  As more photos were taken of different animals, plants and places I wanted to share these experiences with others who may never have the opportunity to visit this area and a guide for those who want to explore it. It is a guide to identifying the wild flowers that you see in he woods.   Look but don’t touch, leave things to Mother Nature and respect the forest. Every day is a new thrill with new experiences and opportunities.  Already thoughts of a new book are churning around in my mind.  Look for in the future The Gunflint and Beyond.  This will take you to areas surrounding the Gunflint.

The best way to explain the author is enthusiasm without formal journalism experience. Her love of nature  since she was introduced to the Gunflint inspired her to take  many photos which she  wanted to share  with others.  The summer of 2003 at the cabin was spent compiling these memoirs of all that she has seen and done on the Gunflint since the first visit July 4,1999.  Nancy retired early from nursing after over 27 years of following her love to find another love, Photography.  She wanted to share especially with the grandkids the wonderful sights of the Gunflint and all the critters big and small.  She shares her love of adventure along with her husband, LeRoy and now through the book with you.
