Giving a sense of deja vu it was again cool and overcast (and even with some rain in the evening) for our day in and around Iron Mountain, just like last year, but it was still a good day. We started, after the usual gentle "we're on vacation" start, by driving east of Iron Mountain and south a little to Piers Gorge and the trail beside the river, which latter is used for whitewater rafting in the warmer months. We walked the trail for a good distance, but it was very rugged and once we were past all the more active water activity we decided that we had gone far enough and made our way back to the van.
We then carried on to Norway, took a look around, visited a few shops but did our spending in a combination quilting supply shop (one of the best Marissa has seen) that doubled as a gift/Christmas decoration store. Marissa's quilting activities this coming winter will benefit greatly from our findings & John added another piece for his Christmas home decor.
We then headed back to Iron Mountain but stopped en route to buy the very best pasties we have found for this whole trip so far. We stopped at a nearby roadside park, featuring yet another pretty waterfall and enjoyed our lunch while it was still hot. After that we drove back to, and all the way through, Iron Mountain to join Jerry & Carol and support their fence building activities with lots of socializing. At the appropriate time we went into town to their currently favorite restaurant and had the most delicious and enjoyable meal, leaving poor Zoe back at the campground, in the house but separated from the cats. After dinner we returned there and continued talking until well into the evening, saying our goodbyes for another year as we will head out and continue our homeward trek in the morning.
A few miscellaneous pictures have been added to the Flickr set of the trip, found here.
