Hunting for Agates on Minnesota's North Shore

Lake Superior has some of the most scenic coast line I've seen. This weekend I made a trip north of Duluth to do some hiking and beach combing. Beaver Bay is an ideal place to hunt for agates.

Much of the time I just spent sitting on some drifwood watching the waves and looking for agates among the stones.

Within a few minutes I had a few agates and other interesting stones to take home and put in my polisher.

Emma enjoyed playing fetch with sticks and trying to herd the waves.

A few miles to the south is a picturesque lighthouse called Split Rock.

Now if I can just get up to the Boundary Waters this year I'll be happy.
