Today was a big driving day as we transitioned from the plains into the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. We popped into town in Pelican Rapids to check out the world’s largest pelican they have in a park in the center of town. After that, we made only one stop at Itasca State Park in Minnesota, home to the source of the Mississippi River. Though it was quite cold, we still took our shoes off and waded across the Mississippi right where it spills out of Lake Itasca. From there it was lots and lots and lots of driving to finally arrive at our small cabin at the Minnetonka here in Copper Harbor. We arrived after dark, but even in the dark I’m pretty sure this is a magnificent area of the country…I suspect tomorrow I’ll walk out the door of the cabin and see Lake Superior.
Tomorrow: Copper Harbor, Eagle Harbor, Da Yoopers, Mouth of the Two-Hearted River, a lighthouse, and the shipwreck museum at Whitefish Point. Night in Sault Sainte Marie.
Notes: Internet access here is s….l….o….w, so probably no more pictures until tomorrow night.
