We had perfect weather for
a day trip to Duluth MN and Superior WI, right across the bridge from each
other! Walked along Lake Superior and we even happened to be there when the
aerial lift bridge was up and a ship went through the canal! How cool was that!
Some of those streets in Duluth look as steep as the ones in San Francisco!
How did I grow up in the
Chicago area and not hear about the Eastland Disaster? The 100th anniversary is
this July. We saw an exhibit about this
at the Corps of Engineer museum in Duluth.

When we drove through
Superior we found a place that has been featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives,
Shorty’s Pizza and Smoked Meat. Read

We found our first Cheese
store and stocked up on some Wisconsin Cheese.
Terry likes cheddar and Kathie likes the Chocolate Cheese Fudge! Yes, we have only been able to find it here
in Wisconsin!
We even found a Walleye and
Muskie fish hatchery!

The weather has been good
enough to start grilling out again.
Yeah! We had grilled hamburgers
with CHEESE!
We have found out why this
area of the state is called the “Northwoods”.
Lots of trees as in enough to provide for a logging industry here! There is a Louisiana Pacific Company plant
here that makes building supplies. We see train cars of tree trunks go to the
plant and finished building products go from the plant.
Do you know what Minong,
Wisc is home of? Terry’s favorite Jack
Links jerky. In fact they have an outlet
store and it is only 20 miles from Hayward.
We will be making many trips there this summer!
