May 3, 2008: On the road, here we are overlooking Duluth, MN, and Superior, WI, at the southwest tip of Lake Superior from a visitor center. |
 |
Paula is attracted to the water so here she is at Park Point watching the waves on Lake Superior. |

(l-r) Mark Persons, Paula Persons, and good-friend Jim Barry. We couldn't go to the Twin Ports without eating, so here we are at the Anchor Bar in Superior, WI. |

Duluth is an inland port
connected to the Atlantic Ocean by the Great Lakes. The Aerial Bridge,
at Duluth, has a moveable road span that raises up to let ships through. Ship Ahoy!! The Joseph L. Block comes in under the famous bridge. She is an iron-ore carrier built in Sturgeon Bay, WI, and christened in 1976. |
 |
The
aft-end of the mighty vessel clears the bridge nicely. Learn more about Great Lakes shipping at: http://duluthshippingnews.com |
 |
When the moveable span is lowered, this is what it looks like when crossing the bridge |

Mark takes the wheel in the wheelhouse at the Lake Superior Marine Museum located near the Aerial Bridge. http://www.lsmma.com |
