Nearly all my family lives South and West of Isabella 30-45 miles.
Woods, lakes, spruce swamps, quite a variety of wildlife as you know. My grandparents moved to that area after immigrating from Finland to Hibbing at the start of 1900's and then moved East from there about 45 miles in 1907 iron miners' strike grandpa lost his job from.Dadwas from that area originally and moved back with mom after retiring.We spend a lot of time there.
