Tuesday, January 30, 2018:
A lighthouse at the end of a pier at the Aerial Bridge in Duluth, Minnesota. It shown brightly in the early morning ice fog over Lake Superior. |
 |
|
The sky
colors were changing as the sun was about to come up. |
 |
|
Finally
the sun showed itself to Duluth and all the world. |
 |
|
Paula
and Mark headed up the north shore of Lake Superior and saw this fisherman
trying his luck in 10 degree temperature. |
 |
 |
|
There is
a house on a hill further north. The view from there must be fantastic in
clear weather, which it was not on this day. |
 |
|
The Silver Creek Cliff has a tunnel. There is another tunnel further up
the shore too. |
 |
|
Paula
warmed her feet in the visitor center at Gooseberry Falls State Park. The falls were completely frozen over, but you can see a previous adventure on this blog. |
 |
|
Split Rock lighthouse
stands above the lake, as it since 1910. It safely guided ships away from shore until 1969. Now it is a destination and run by the Minnesota Historical Society. |
 |
|
Paula
was out exploring on a stream where the water was mostly frozen. She has
no fear. |
 |
|
Ah, but
there was some open water. Paula is at home in the water as a
SCUBA diver. She took a photo for her Facebook account. |
 |
|
Salt
and paper shakers look out from the
Blue
Fin Grille at the Blue
Fin Bay Resort on the North Shore of Lake Superior. Mark and Paula enjoyed lunch while looking over the frozen water. |
 |
|
After
lunch it was time to go out and see more ice along the lake. |
 |
|
More ice
to show off the lake's beauty. |
 |
|
Hmmm...they must be getting up north if Bog Foot was spotted wandering about. |
 |
|
The road
into Grand Marais, Minnesota, reminded Mark and Paula of the TV series
Northern
Exposure. |
 |
| Another
look at the ice at Grand Marais. Lake Superior is huge and ice can
pound the shore. |
 |
|
It was
time for supper so the Dynamic Duo stopped at the Gunflint Tavern. They
were not disappointed. |
 |
|
Mark and
Paula came out to find a snow storm in progress. |
 |
|
They
stayed at the Superior Inn. Fortunately the weather stayed outside and
they were warm inside. |
Quote of the day:
Grand Marais, MN, has a lot to like. Mark
