Day 2 of Superior Hiking Trail

We hiked a lot today. Awoke late at Caribou campsite to Sinem saying "is it time to wake up?" Then we ate breakfast- farina with dried strawberries- and headed out of camp. We kept up a good pace throughout the day, and saw some pretty impressive scenery. My favorite parts of the hike included a meadow near a beaver dam, and waterfalls at Brule River in Judge Magney State Park. Unfortunately just when we finished admiring the falls and were looking forward to the campsite a couple miles ahead, we had to climb 5 flights of stairs or so-- pretty discouraging at the end of a long day.

However, all in all, it was a good, hard day, but I didn't feel overwhelmed. 18 miles of hiking today total, and we're planning for 20 tomorrow. We are camped at Judge Magney State Park campground. We had high expectations of showers and flush toilets, but our plans were foiled when we found the bathrooms were locked for the winter already.
