Split Rock Lighthouse got added to our list of must sees after an enthusiastic suggestion from our üCamp friends, Pam & Mike. Our excitement about it elevated to the next level when we pulled in and discovered that it is a Minnesota Historical Society site. Ever...

Road Trip
Cloquet to Indian Lake
The choice of this campground within the Cloquet State Forest near Brimson, Minnesota for tonight's stay was driven by the fact that it's a first come, first served and tonight is Friday of the weekend before the Fourth of July, the beginning of high camping season...
Navigating by Map
Last evening we spread the MN and the US maps out on the table along with The Minnesota Historical Society brochure and hatched plans to head to the Mille Lacs Indian Museum and Trading Post at Onamia, Minnesota and to stay at Hobby Farm in Oak Park for the night as...
Canal Park, Duluth
Despite the fact that we were way too tired for an adventure and just wanted to hang out inside the T@B, we didn't want to waste the opportunity to get our first taste of Duluth, Minnesota. We arrived in the rain, parked near the Aerial Lift Bridge, got to see it lift...
Meyer’s Beach Trail
See Park Video You know you are in an incredible place when the photos can't even begin to tell the story. The Meyer's Beach Sea Cave Trail is one of those places. parking at the trailhead was congested with folks heading out in kayaks to explore the sea...
Side Trip to Bayview Park
It's a little beach park just off of WI-13 between Washburn and Bayfield, Wisconsin. We'd passed it twice yesterday and had promised ourselves we'd stop this morning then before we'd realized it, we passed it again. We're glad we made a turnaround and came back. We...
Memorial Park Washburn
Right on the shore of Lake Superior, Memorial Park in Washburn, Wisconsin is a city park that's just right for us to plug in and enjoy. Loved the fact that we scored a back in site with a stargazer view of the woods! From here we made the short trip to Bayside to...
Apostle Islands Visitors Center
Although the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore wasn't really on our radar, when we spotted it on the map the other day we quickly decided to include it in our whirlwind tour of Superior's southern shore. To get our bearings we headed to the Visitor Center in Bayfield...
Pasties in Wakefield
As we left Presque Isle we set our sights on finding a Pastie (pass-tee) before leaving Michigan. And success was ours in Wakefield. We saw a sign for Randall Bakery Pasties on our way into town and followed the signs, deviating from our plan to turn right onto US-2....
Presque Isle Waterfalls
What a glorious way to start the day. Sunlight crept in through the stargazer window that looked out into the woods. Hot coffee. Eggs and sausage. And a hike along a portion of the 17 mile Lake Superior Trail to visit Manabezho, Manido, and Nawahada Falls along a...

Little Fox Cafe and Bakery, great for coffee, croissants, and conversation When we first posted that we were updating our website we were in Massachusetts. Shortly thereafter we headed west to Medina. With the trailer safely ensconced in our son's driveway, we settled...
Manhattan in the Rain
NYC was experiencing flooded roads and subways as we arrived at the Red Hook terminal in Brooklyn. It was quite an adventure to make our way to our Midtown Manhattan Hotel.
Westbound on Cunard’s Queen Mary 2
Seven day passage from Southampton to New York, the very first Festival of Food and Wine aboard Cunard, passing around Hurricane Nigel in the North Atlantic. So much to do, so little time!
