... charter groups. In the US, the land began to open up to more farm land.<br><br>DULUTH, MINNESOTA: <br><br>Located on the western tip of Lake Superior, this is the largest inland port in the world. Nearly every train system in North America has a rail line terminating at massive grain terminals, iron ore storage/transfer or freight handling facilities. On the other hand, residences along the shoreline are majestic ...

What was meant to be a warm camping trip where we could swim and enjoy the sun turned into a cold time, with gale storms to add to the mix. It was still a good time nonetheless. <br><br>We went beyond Duluth to a place called Boundary Waters. A place my wife wants her family to see, reminiscing of her summer in Minnesota. We took ...

The Apostle Islands Rally has come to an end so we said goodbye to our BAC friends on Wednesday and made the short drive back west to Dultuh. We settled into our new 'home' at Ogstons RV park and proceeded to take the afternoon off. <br><br>The city of Duluth and it's neighbor to the east, Superior Wisconsin, are known as the twin ports. Both ...

... in the back seat. He really has done an amazing job of car traveling for a 4 year old. He has been cooped up day after day for 8+ hours in a car and only has minor fusses now and then. He often make up stories and plays with his various toys (cars, dinosaurs, bubble gum (don't ask about the chewed bubble gum that got turned into a neck tattoo, We are still trying to get it all of his neck!), great activity book from Grandma Jackie, etc.) We ...

ENGINE COOKING &#8211; Can't remember if I have posted this or not&#8230; The cooking under the hood is working out pretty well! The first day was the worst, though. We cooked turkey breast with veggies but I left it on too long and it was dried out but certainly edible. Actually, part of my trouble was that I forgot and left the foil package under the hood for an extra hour and a half after we arrived while I chatted ...

... that we were free to enter, reaffirming that the information I gathered prior to leaving was a really good thing to do. I don&#8217;t think it helps living in New Zealand, travelling on a Canadian passport and driving a US registered vehicle, it doesn&#8217;t fit their normal profile.<br><br>We drove to a National park, where we enjoyed learning about the early French voyageurs and the fir trade.  There in little doubt in my mind that the Americans put a lot of effort into their national ...

... much all day. We got through Duluth much better this time.<br>We both have GPS's so that helped. We have missed seeing all the wild animals along the road. It is nice to see green grass and trees. It looks alot like MI here. <br>We are staying in a campground in Superior Wisconsin. <br>More later<br>

... miles before we entered the paper-mill town of Grand Rapids where there was the largest pile of logs I have ever seen - 50 ft high and about quarter of a mile long. The other highlights of today were getting the car washed at the geographical centre of North America, re-crossing the Mississippi, and buying a coffee thermos in the town where Judy Garland was born.  Nuff said!<br><br><br>RnH x<br><br>P.S Good luck to Damo in his AC - I'm sure he'll do brilliantly.

... bells on my collar to warn bears and other critters that we are in the vicinity. Personally, I don't think a bear will care if I have bells on or not. If he or she is hungry I don't think the bells will stop them. So anyway, I digress... When the alarm went off this morning I definitely knew it would be a different day because since both Dave ...

... that Duluth is actually set on a hill that rises right up from Lake Superior. We decided to journey all the way to the top of the hill to get a prospect of the area. By that time, it was getting dark and all the lights on the bay and the hill were starting to illuminate the night. We started by finding some roads at the south end of town that went up (that was our only requirement: to go up). Very fast, we left the 'bustling' town and were left to our own ...
