This was a back roads day. The GPS routed us across Minnesota on 10 and 200 and then to rte 2. We were on long rolling roads with rolling hills of hay and corn. Little traffic so we made good time...very green!!! Lots and lots of small lakes...too numerous to count or remember the names and many,many farms. Small towns each with several bars and a Lutheran church. The land of the Norwegian bachelor farmers as Garrison Keillor talks about on Prariee Home Companion. We finally got to Duluth which is a spectacular view as you come over the hill and travel down to the lake, bridges and shipping docks. There was tons of construction and not a place to stop for a picture. We then entered Wisconsin and traveled toward Michigan. We stoped in Ashland Wisconsin on the beach of Lake Superior for Riggs to run around. They have a great waterfront with beautiful views, beaches and a trail to follow ..probably along an old rail bed. We are staying near Saxon Wisc in a cornfield campground...50 cents for a shower...himmm are they only for special occasions? We are headed into Ironwood tomorrow to visit a cousin of Mikes...his family is all from that area. We will visit the cemetery and update ourselves on who is who. Campfire tonight!!
Lesson for the day: Its nice to see lots of big green trees and lots of lakes..almost home!!
Kathy, Michael, and Riggs
