This old adventurer along with his long-term bride and best friend prepped and warmed the Idaho Avenue cabin on Big Bass Lake, made ready for both children and spouses for the Mothersâ Day reunion. This was the first full combination of kids with parents since downsizing, simplifying, and relocation from Snake River Idaho to north of Highway 2 here in the Northland three years ago. Wood stove stoked and working? Check. Indoor temperature 72? Check. Water system ready? Check. Bird feeders loaded? Check. Son and bride travelled from Bellingham, WA, north of Highway 2, via Seattle, Minneapolis, and Duluth. Daughter and husband travelled from their Bagley MN, home almost touching Highway 2. Kidsâ own kids are scattered from Boston to Eugene to Fargo to Duluth. COVID-19 precautions, career demands, and scattered kids/grandkids make times like this at the familyâs 40-year retreat extra special, as anticipated 40 years ago.
