Hello everyone, I am from WI, but every year I take a week long trip up to Grand Marais just myself to go rock hunting. I'm on the lakeshore as much as I can be and do quite a bit of walking/hiking and I'm always sore and tired when I come back to WI.

What I've been noticing over the last few years, even though I'm exhausted and sore, I am in such an amazing mood, my head is clear and I'm just overall nicer to people. Does anyone else experience this? I know part of it is getting away and not being at work, but I just feel that there is something more magical or something that the UP or Lake Superior gives to me. I've had other long vacations and have gone other places and its just not the same.
