A Superior Tattoo

Alissa was our guide for an amazing kayak tour of sea caves in Lake Superior at the Apostle Islands last weekend.  She has many years of experience paddling and guiding in Lake Superior and this was proudly displayed by the tattoo on top of her right foot.  When she told us where she had paddled and worked before she just pointed to the map on her foot!  It's the simple outline of the "wolf's head" that we know as Lake Superior.  
The above outline of Lake Superior (without the label) looks like Alissa's tattoo.
The Apostle Islands are right in the snout of the "wolf's head",
 an archipelago of 21 islands in northern Wisconsin.

Here she is entering one of the larger portals in the sandstone formations.
Thank You, Alissa!

That sounds like a very cool trip! No pic of the tattoo?

I know! I can't believe I didn't think of it at the time!
