Duluth, Minnesota
We planned a three-day stop in Duluth and were quite
surprised when a cold air blast hit the region.
Things were reasonably normal when we left Munising, continuing west on
M-28 then US-2 right into Duluth, just over the border from Wisconsin. Then things turned downright cold, with waves
of squalls passing through from the Northwest.
Accordingly, we didn't get much done in terms of
sightseeing and pictures. OK, we didn't
get anything done! We did some shopping
and Geri made a batch of her Famous Chili.
She caught up on laundry. I paid
the bills. Pretty boring, right?
Well, we'll just have to stop again when the weather's
more favorable. There is plenty to see
and do, with a nice waterfront and several scenic drives/overlooks. Topology-wise, the city reminds me of a
mini-San Francisco, with steep, terraced hills and a compact feel. We stayed at the Lakehead Boat Basin, a
marina with a sideline as an RV Park, so we had a prime spot right on the
waterfront. It's definitely worth a
return visit, maybe in August...
