Spring has Sprung!

It was another beautiful late winter day in the Northland today. Since Wednesday is my short day at work, Noelle and i decided to get outside and enjoy the warmth. There's just one problem, most of Duluth's trails are closed right now to protect them during the "mud season". We decided to hike one of the few open trails in town, the Western Waterfront Trail. It is a partly paved and partly gravel trail, and while it is not too scenic, it was nice to get out and walk a bit with the dog. We even got to see some of the last remaining snow in the Northland. It was up on Spirit Mountain.
