Due to travel and connectivity, we are a bit behind in telling you about our travels.

On Tuesday, we hiked the Gooseberry Falls before leaving the area. Lake Superior is so large. It appears to be an ocean with waves and choppy waters. During two days of storms in 1905, 20 ships sank or were heavily damaged on the western end of Lake Superior. Fog rolls in from the lake and we were shrouded in the fog.

We forgot to mention that on the trip to Fargo we crossed the Mississippi River . Didn’t realize it came so far north.

On our way from the western shore of Lake Superior to Cumberland, Wisconsin, we drove through Duluth, Minnesota, which is the capital. Duluth looks like a smaller version of Seattle— hills, lots of green, at the edge of a body of water, with a downtown area.

We had a fabulous dinner and visit with Pauline and Randy in Cumberland, Wisconsin. They live in a house built in the early 1900s and lovingly restored by Pauline and Randy. It is filled with antique furniture and furnishings collected over the past 30 years. They live on 4 acres and own the adjoining 40 acres that they manage and preserve for the deer and some bow hunting.
