Over 50 community trips and outings in the last 10 years.   
I enjoy bringing people together to explore and support the Northland via these arts, history, and nature trips.  


Thank you to trip attendees. 

In Aug 2026 my husband and I did a trip around Lake Superior.  Maybe that will be a future group trip? We also went to Toronto to a steel drum Panorama festival.  We stopped in at every Great Lake.  The shoreline, water, trees add energy to the day.
