Saxon Harbor, Wisconsin

One of my true friends Cameron, whom I met in college invited me up to his land in August. He inherited 80 acres on Lake Superior in Saxon Harbor, Wisconsin from his grandfather who passed away several years ago. According to Cam he was pretty eccentric. He had purchased the land that came with a cabin on it and spent parts of nearly twenty years walking though his woods carrying a .357 Magnum pistol and yelling at trespassers. After he died no one had visited the land in nearly fifteen years until April of 2013 when Cam went to check it out.

I drove the four hours up to Saxon after work on a Friday to meet up with Cam and three of his friends. We spent the next two days drinking whiskey, making tremendous fires, shooting guns, hanging out on the Lake Superior beach in Saxon, and adventuring across his land. It was the highlight of my summer; a weekend I will never forget.

A Brief Introduction - A Superior Life

Hello,

This is Peter Gjovik, I am a teacher, blogger, writer, occasional artist, picture taker, and reader; this is my blog. Thank you for checking out some of my photographs and reading my occasional writing (however unpolished it may be).  I decided to build a blogspot because my tumblr page asuperiorlife.tumblr.com started to seem limited for the kind of content I wanted to publish. However, I still post there as well.

This blog serves as more of a personal journal than professional portfolio for my photos and work. I'm twenty-four and don't really know what I'm doing, but I suppose this will work for now. If you want to get a hold of me for any reason feel free to email me (peter[at]thegoodcamp.com) Thanks!
