North Shore

Today we made it across Minnesota and began our route around the North Shore of Lake Superior. I, Exploding PopTart, am a little crabby about my sore throat-cough thing, and too tired for much detail. Hope these will help:

That famous bridge in Duluth, where we at lunch at a restaurant named "Grandma's" and threw rocks into the lake. Papercup Mixmaster: loved the bloody mary at Grandma's. Very nice little waterfront area in Duluth. This could be a nice place to settle.Sadly, there were not good shoulders to pull over and take pictures of the cool marshy forests around the lake, and of the cat tails going to seed. It seems like the safe places to pull over a u-haul never look as cool as the places on the edge of a 2 lane road with no shoulder. And now the landscape has changed again. But once we got to the North Shore there was a chance to stop and photograph all that cool stuff we look at out the window as we drive along,




















including waterfalls on the river pouring into the lake,

















and to get out occasionally and throw more rocks into that huge huge lake:

Finally we landed in the lap of luxury in Silver Bay, MN, which is a mining town and more importantly has a 3 story waterslide in this building pictured below. Tomorrow, Canada! (If we can get Dog allowed in with our inadequate proof of Rabies Vaccination...)
