A Superior Visit

I got up early and went for a walk on the Waterfront Trail which runs for five miles near the campground. The walk was lengthened by a lengthy phone call from English daughter Carrie and her husband John.

I returned to the Winnebago in time to dress for our adventure in Superior, Wisconsin. During last evenings dinner someone mentioned the outstanding hamburgers at the Anchor Bar in Superior. Dave & Sharon picked us up and we headed for the Anchor Bar. Not an easy feat as Tower Avenue, the main drag in Superior, was being rebuilt. We eventually found our way to the bar and ordered our hamburgers. They were great as advertised.

After lunch we drove to Barker's Island to check out the wooden boats on display. The workmanship on the new wooden boats and canoes puts my woodworking efforts to shame. The antique wooden boats were also interesting and beautiful.

We then drove over the high bridge to Duluth to check out Park Point.

After Dave & Sharon dropped us off at the Winnebago we ran some errands and then drove to Skyline Drive for a view of the city.

We got a couple of salmon fillets for dinner and headed back to the Winnebago to relax and eat.
