The
Philip R. Clarke entered the port of

Then the sun poked up above the water behind a light house at
the Aerial Bridge. |

|
There was morning lake fog and smoke from a fire in Canada so
the sun gave an orange glow. |

Paula enjoyed a steaming hot cup of
Arco Coffee
while checking her emails while the sun smiled over the harbor. |
 |
|
Then it was off to the Oliver Bridge at Oliver, Wisconsin,
population 399. The bridge links Wisconsin and Minnesota. The unique feature is railroad tracks above automobile traffic. |
 |
| Here comes a train now....thundering down the tracks. |
