Deep
Portage: January 6-9th by Sally Richards
Wow, we arrive to fresh snow and find that the North Stars have the whole center to ourselves.
Plenty of clean rooms and a few quiet corners to read in plus a large room with a good view for eating, socializing, puzzle
putting together and/or sitting by a warm fire.
Those of us who had not been there before, discover that it is an Environmental Learning
Center; nice to know that future generations will learn about nature and the things that we as a group cherish.
There seemed to be no end to the trails for skiing. If great cross country ski trails weren't
enough, we were challenged to try out the indoor climbing wall! Another new experience for some of us.
Thanks to the trip planners for giving us good rooms, good food, great trails - all at
a reasonable price. As always the fellowship with other North Star Members was outstanding. Along with great skiing, what
more could one ask for?
