Hanging out in the Northland

We went to Wisconsin, as pointedly observed by TOPWLH, twice yesterday. On our first visit, the navigator/operator got a little confused coming back into Superior from Barker's Island, ended up in the wrong lane, and, whooops, we were back on the Blatnik bridge. We had not finished our business in Wisconsin (we had not yet had lunch at the FoodNetwork recommended Anchor Bar, I recommend watching the video) so the navigator had to execute one of those off and back on operations at the first opportunity and return us to Badgerland. Three times across the Blatnik, two times in Wisconsin, that makes a full day.

This sign looks to me like it is giving out good information. She is standing on Barker's Island (in Wisconsin), that's Minnesota in the background.Particularly sharp eyed and knowledgeable observers may be able to identify the hangars over there as part of Sky Harbor airport at the end of the road on Park Point. Those with comprehensive knowledge of Minnesota geography will know that Park Point is in Minnesota (and that Barker's Island is in Wisconsin).

Earlier in the day we were out walking. We walked over to the really superior big lake they have here. On the way back the GRider commented that here was an eating opportunity that was only going to present itself occasionally. You just don't get that many chances to dine at Red obster.Just go ahead and humor us.

We were amused.

We spent most of the rest of the day up and down the mostly linear city of Duluth, including a stop at Kitchi Gammi Park on the north (or as the locals would say, east) end of Duluth.For those familiar with Longfellow, no, that isn't an error. That's the way the good folks here choose to spell it.

We also tried to check in on the famous Hawk Ridge but couldn't get all the way to the most famous observation points. The road is not maintained in the winter and despite the outside temperatures, it is still not quite not winter in Duluth.

We are having fun, all that remains is the hockey.

Go Gophers.
