I often find myself complaining about what is going wrong with things. So, it is time to acknowledge what went “right” and publicly thank all of the people responsible.
COUNTY CONNECTIONS
Dust in the Wind “Dust in the Wind.” The lyrics of that infamous song by Kansas came to mind often while checking roads this June. Many Cook County residents are familiar with billowing clouds of dust trailing their cars down gravel roads, along with the bone-rattling experience of driving on a washboard-stricken hill.

Happy Hikers August9hikeagenda for this week
The Happy Hikers will travel to Schroeder, then up the Cramer Road to the Cramer Tunnel. The Cramer Tunnel is the longest railroad tunnel in the state of Minnesota, measuring 1,800 feet from the entrance to exit. During the peak of the taconite industry in the 1950s, LTV Steel used a 72-mile railroad system to connect their Hoyt Lakes taconite plant with their Taconite Harbor shipping port located near Schroeder, MN. Now abandoned, this tunnel is an off-the-beaten-path gem that is available for visitors to explore.
