Duluth MN May 19&20

Going under the elevated bridge Duluth 
Spending a couple days here hoping for improved weather. Yesterday was chilly but not much rain or wind. We were able to tour around the North Country and downtown Duluth which is right on Lake Superior. The town is surprisingly attractive with much of it built right into the hillside with cool views of the lake. We also took the drive up the north shore of Lake Superior which again was very scenic. It is too cold to do much outside but we did go to the army corps of engineers hq where in conjunction with NOAA they handle shipping coming and going into the port  We saw one of the big ships set out for the ocean from here in northern Minnesota-strange.
At COE visitors center
Today is a different story winds 20mph going to gale force later and 24 hours of rain coming. We have chores today laundry and food shopping and  will have lunch and dinner out, first time since Chicago. The weather throughout the country looks pretty dreadful. Not sure which way to go to get warmer and drier!!

    Duluth must be beautiful on Lake Superior. We have had our 1st heat wave. 90+ Wed, Thurs & Fri. Don't know much about Duluth. Are there historic sites & museums?

      It is a nice city. Not a whole lot of history beyond the maritime part but nice people and a really beautiful setting. Had a nice dinner right on the lakep

    Duluth sounds interesting. As for the weather it has been a fickle spring. I'm not sure it got to 70 here today.

A Slight Reprieve

The sun came back just long enough for one more night of camping.  A beautiful campground on Bishop Lake, Brighton, MI
