At Two Harbors we toured the Museum, learned about the building of the Duluth and Iron Range rail line and the shipping of iron ore.
Toured Edna G., a tugboat used to assist ships in and out of the harbor.

Parked on Hwy. 61 and hiked up to Palisade Head in Tettegouche State Park.
Camped at Lambs Resort. Walked down to Lake Superior.
Beautiful pebbles on the beach.
On the Road Again Thursday July 21 walked to the Baraga Cross on Lake Superior. He was traveling from Madeline Island and encountered a bad storm. They were fortunately hung up on a sandbar so survived. They erected a cross in thanksgiving.
Stopped at Cascade State Park and hiked in to see these beautiful cascading falls. Weather is beautiful.
At Grand Portage Monument we watched a video that taught us about "Voyageurs.". Also learned about the fur trading.
Outdoor oven
Birchbark canoe
Last stop in the U.S. is at Grand Portage State Park. The 3/4 mile hike (again because the state park was closed) was worth it! Tremendous falls. The water spray off the falls was creating rainbows and wet cameras.
