One Year on the Road

Grand Marai in on the shore of Lake Superior.

We got the last available campsite at the city RV park.

Just in time for the sunset.

Marine Center across the bay.

Walking to the lighthouse is a popular activity.

Looking from the campground toward town.

Walking with the fur kids.

Orange lichen on the rocks.

Gypsy enjoys her strolls.

The campground is a very busy place.

We couldn&#039;t walk 10 feet without people wanting to pet Gypsy.

That night we went to Hughie&#039;s Tacos for pork sauerkraut puff tacos.

The next day, we moved to a more spacious spot.

It was right across from the beach.

Bailey could swim as much as she wanted.

We stood in line for the worlds best donuts.

City bicycles.

The local bookshop.

A friendly welcome.

Now that&#039;s a fishing store!

The old blacksmith and welding shop is no longer in business.

Building art.

Fun restaurant.

I found this sculpture a little disturbing.

Sitting in a art chair.

We drove north and took a hike through a birch forest.

Tall and green.

The old fish shack by the harbor.

Pizza oven.

Saturday, I took a walk out to the lighthouse.

It&#039;s a long walk on top of the sea wall.

Such interesting rock slabs.

I caught the tail end of the free music in the square.

It was great... blues...

And a little polka, just to remind us we were in Minnesota.

Kate had stayed back to work on a quilt.

And babysit this little precious.

We really liked the new site and decided to stay yet another night.

Wild delphiniums.

Kayakers at sunset.

The next day, Kate and I went together out to the lighthouse.

Visitors enjoy the rocks.

The water was completely different this day.

Waves crashing.

Lichen rocks.

The weather was so great, we grilled outside.

And had a campfire.

Gypsy&#039;s dinner.

I did a little more work.

One last walk on the beach.

Tunnel on the drive back down to Duluth.

These falls are right next to the highway.

Quite impressive.

We stopped at Brambleberry State Park.

We took a well-maintained trail.

Interesting root growth.

Smooth rock beach.

We hiked up high for this great view.

What a great place to kayak.

This guy and his friends had just rock-climbed up the cliff.

The fellow climber was very taken with Gypsy.

On the beach down below.

Gypsy kicks back after the big hike.

The bridge from Duluth to Wisconsin.

And into Wisconsin.
