Sunday, July 2nd

We packed up and said goodbye to Stony Point Resort and drove east on US-2. We stopped around noon in Grand Rapids, MN and had lunch at Lake Forest Steakhouse. It was quite enjoyable and busy. Continued on thru Duluth, MN. This is a pretty city on the far western shore of Lake Superior. Five years ago we had the opportunity to spend several enjoyable days here.

Just as we entered Wisconsin, I stopped driving and joined MA for a one hour nap at the welcome center.

Our destination is the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore. We had no reservations and this being holiday time, we were not sure where we would spend the night. As we drove into Bayfield, we followed signs to the Visitors Center...VERY crowded and narrow streets. Driving the coach and towing the Jeep kept me busy in Bayfield. Long story short, we FINALLY tracked down a policeman (the police station was closed and the mayor - also a shop owner - is recovering from quadruple bypass surgery) showed us where we could park for up to 14 days (3 will be enough) on city property. So we are overlooking the harbor in this very cute town.

Had hamburgers and onion rings for dinner accompanied by live music from a young musician at the Hurricane Hut.
