| Lake Superior |
We have been staying behind a severe weather system for several days. There has been some indications of the storm as we have travelled....downed trees, high winds and swollen streams....but we have avoided anything serious. We had lunch at the mouth of Lake Superior in Duluth, MN. The lake was a chocolate red, with glacial sediment stirred up from the storm. Fifty miles later in Ashland, WI we started seeing some "Road Closed" signs. US2 was closed, so we tried WI77 which was also closed. Since those were the only two roads that went to the northern part of Michigan, our destination...we suddenly came to the realization that our vacation had taken a turn...we were not going through Michigan! So we pointed our land yacht south for a new adventure. Happily on our way, we started planning our new trip...but no, "Road Closed," again! We realized we had to backtrack. So back to Ashland, back to Duluth, back to our lunch stop.. New, new plan. It's 4:00 and a quick look for State Parks end us up in Moose Lake State Park, somewhere between Duluth and Minneapolis.
As we pull into our site, it's starts to rain...Deb's a trooper...she just stands there, directing me into the site, just as if the sun were shinning brightly. The evening was spent doing the replan...not too exciting, the weekend is coming and we have to go around Chicago, and avoid some lingering severe weather. Oh, the life of a prairie sailor.
