The Hedstrom Lumber Yard on the Gunflint trail was a pretty amazing sight. Here is some information about the corporation on their website:

Hedstrom Lumber is a sawmill located in Grand Marais, Minnesota. The company processes logs into dimensional lumber. It employs around thirty people and delivers over seven hundred truckloads of lumber annually to retail yards throughout the Midwest.

  2. There is a lot of lumber here waiting to be processed but, I was especially drawn to the hints of fall color showing up in the bottom photo.

  3. Interesting sight. If just three generations in 98 years, the current generation must be pretty old.

  9. Nice shots! I like the last one best.

    To answer your question on my post from yesterday, long e. Sometimes I get a crick in my neck.
    I do know people here who pronounce it crick but where I grew up in Illinois, it was creek.
