Here are some shots from our recent tour of the "falls" - Bond Falls and Agate Falls in the Western UP. Temps were about 20 Deg F, even though it looked warmer.

Bond Falls - standing on the ice shelf below the falls with water flowing (raging) under us:

Nothing better than a father - son trip to the Western UP (or anywhere else for that matter). Looks like "the boys" had a great trip.
Been there, done that. Nice pics.

lifetime of memories there, especially from son's eye's.
