What we found was a stark transformation at the border. To the south
it was Modern Tourism. To the north was something else. The forest
composition changed. The habitation patterns changed. With the
exception of the Casino near Watersmeet and a few other modern
"conveniences" there

I started to notice the change almost as soon as I passed the last
large town in WI. The kicker was the smell. There had already been
enough change in the woods that I was being even more alert for deer
than usual right after the city limits, but a few miles farther on it
smelled like the north woods of my childhood. Some difference or bad
memory. Maybe it was the difference of Mn north and Youper. Maybe
some scent from the lake drifts that far south? Maybe just the
beingness of so much of woods?
