Memorial DayMemorial Day.

Memorial Day is a special day in a small town.

Small towns are good and appropriate places to remember why Memorial Day, or “Decoration Day”, was first established. The Lake Vermilion area towns each have their own events in remembrance of the men and women who died in our nation’s service. (The photo is from the Cook, MN Memorial Day parade.)

A Memorial Day resource page is here.

The bugle song of “Taps” is the sound that stays with me days after Memorial Day is past.

The continuing fire ban.

The Department of Natural Resources issued a news release today announcing the lifting of the fire ban in several northern Minnesota counties.

St. Louis County and the Lake Vermilion area was not one of the included areas. Many portions of the northern most portion of the state have received only about 1/3 inch of rain in the last couple of days. So no open burning over the holiday weekend.

Relax and enjoy the lake this Memorial Day weekend!

Elbow Lake lotFor Sale!

Close your eyes and think of that perfect at-the-lake-in-the-woods lake lot.

Based on the descriptions I hear many folks offer as their dream lakeshore lot, this new listing is very close to that perfect picture.

First of all it’s on Elbow Lake. It’s road accessible via a private road. The lot is near the end of this one-ended road. Very quiet and private. South and southwestern exposure. Views and sunsets. Large mature pine. Rock shoreline. Nicely sized at 3.74 acres with 462 feet of lake frontage. Electricity is on-site.

If that’s not a dream lot it’s pretty close to it. Offered at $247,500.

Here are additional photos. Contact me to arrange a visit.
