We left Bemidji on Monday the 17th, heading east to Duluth. The campground we selected is west of the town, actually in Hermantown. I wonder if that is where Danny Herman comes from. Don’t think so! We got a campsite on the very back side, overlooking a large pond and an open field. Late in the afternoon a large flock of Canadian Geese descended on the pond, like dive bombers. Pris spent the night following their progress, with the older males protecting the flock when they went ashore.
Duluth marked 3000 miles from LA and the last oil change on the RV, so I scheduled that in downtown. I was lucky to get in on an hours notice. Considering that it is about 2400 miles as the crow flies coast to coast, it’s hard to believe we put 3000 miles on the RV and have just gotten to the Great Lakes.
Tuesday we took a drive in the CRV up the north coast of Lake Superior, heading northeast out of Duluth. Most of the coast is a stony bluff, up to almost 1000ft above the lakes surface. Very beautiful! This is iron ore country and we came across some of those huge ship loading docks. None of them had ships in them, so it was hard to judge their size. They appear huge. Our trip terminated at the most popular stop on the coast, Betty’s Pies.
The weather is cooling off, with highs in the mid 80s in the day and lows in the low 60s. It’s nice to enjoy sleeping without air conditioning.
