Okay, a few days late on this...but before I forget...
Thursday, Aug. 8th:
Probably one of the most beautiful rides I have ever experienced. Before that however Sam and I went to the Thunder Bay lakefront, and back to revisit Kakabeka Falls because, well, it's awesome. No change from the day before. From there we headed south to Duluth...and man what a ride! Lake Superior was hugging the coastline practically the entire trip. At the US/Canada border there are the High Falls which we hiked to, and after staring at that in awe for a while, we took a sidepath down to the rivers edge and hung around there a while. Good times - and Sam was quite amazed that Canada lay just on the other side of the rushing river. After this we trekked south to Duluth and passed several lakeside resorts. We arrived in Duluth a bit late for the game (dang GPS!) but did manage to catch most of the game. We got our money's worth since it went to 12 innings. We finished the long day at a BW3's.
Friday, Aug. 9th:
The official last day of our trip started with a brief tour of the Duluth lakefront, and of the city proper. It's an amazing place - built entirely on a hillside. Would easily give San Fran a run for its money as the nation's steepest city. The lakefront was amazing with a beautiful walking path and beach. Well, not the type of beach we are used to - pretty much rocks of all sizes...not sand. We got back to our car right before the meter ran out and made our way to Illinois for a game in Elgin. Oops...wasn't Elgin, but south of there, and north of Wisconsin Dells it became apparent that we would be at least a half hour late. At that point I decided to hit a waterpark at the Dells - Kalahari - which Sam and I visited several years ago. We got an after 5pm pass and went nuts for 5 hours. Beat myself up pretty good but a great way to end the trip. Made for a long night - returned home just after 2am. However another wonderful trip in the books!
