Saturday, July 21. One week to see Josh & Jeanette. Two weeks to see Sarah & Greg. Three weeks to see Frank & Joy, and then home. I'm ready. Days on end of driving expansion joints is getting old. I need to just relax for a bit and recover. Maybe a vegetative afternoon or three by our pool catching up with friends...
Overcast with a threat of rain, we drove back to the highway and headed North along the Lake Superior coast, stopping a few times, including Grand Portage National Monument.
Grand Portage commemorates the native people and the early trappers and traders who made this a major site. The monument has an volunteers showing how people lived, and built their homes and boats. They also had a wooden fort that reminded me of F Troop, but nicer.
Crossing into Canada took a while, as only one lane was open for a while. Once through, Sharon found a provincial park a few hours in that seemed promising. Fortunately they had two sites available, one with electricity, one without but on the water. With three days of overcast and rainy, we haven't fully charged the house battery, and blowing up the SUPs was an extra hit the battery didn't want. But a view is a view.
Rain dampened the ground, but not our spirits. Cocktails on the beach before the weather degraded was delicious, and swirling winds under spitting skies made walking around the campground and beach/rocky shore after dinner a charging experience. If only our battery could get a charging experience like that.
