A drive through Barker's Island leads to a fun afternoon. Written By: Jed D.

(Jed Carlson / jcarlson@superiortelegram.com) On Tuesday, Jan. 26, I took a quick drive down to Barker's Island in Superior — at least it was supposed to be quick. My thought was to look for any prep work for the upcoming Lake Superior Ice Festival or even someone ice fishing. But as I was turning around in the Barkers Island Inn parking lot, I noticed two somethings running across the frozen Superior Bay. At first I thought a couple dogs got loose, but soon realized it was a pair of foxes.
