A couple of weeks ago I was looking at the Things to "Go Do" (see here) www.backlundrealty.com/bm/blog/activities/index.shtml on my Local Activities drop down tab under the Blog tab on my Home page and found a few things that I hadn't gone an did for a long long time. Sooo, my wife and I hiked up to the top of Pincushion. While we were at it, it dawned on me that I hadn't been to the top of it since I was around 10 yrs old, so I figured now was a good time to get'r did.

When I was up there last I believe it was with my dad and Paul Johnson as we took the ol' 12/3 Ski-Doo right up top and drove it around a bit. Kinda fun. Sorry, now a days it's off limits to 12/3 Ski-Doos and all other motorized vehicles, so you have to hoof it in on people power. 

See pix below. From the top of Pincushion there's a 360 view of Grand Marais, Lake Superior and Five Mile Rock to name a few of the sights. There's also a great view of the Lake View Dairy Farm, which is also at the top of the Things to "Go Do" list. Going to the Lake View Dairy Farm is kinda like playing Farmville on Facebook..........except it's real.
