Today, however - we did a lot of driving. We drove from Hinkley, MN to Danbury, WI where I got some gas, trying to dodge all the ATV people. The place was a zoo!
After that, we drove to Hayward, WI where we stopped at the Wal-mart, and I picked up a clip so I could use the phone as a GPS guide. It took a while to figure out how to setup the phone, but I eventually got it to work. Except, the screen shut off is limited to 10 minutes, so every 10 minutes I have to touch the screen or I lose the GPS map. We took a turn at Drummond, WI and drove a county road, where we passed a lot of lakes. We stopped at the Delta Diner, which was the whole point of this meandering trip (besides the sightseeing).
After lunch, we headed to Duluth, MN, but got on a little detour looking for a historical marker, and ended up at Wisconsin Point, WI. We got to see Lake Superior from the Wisconsin side at least.
After that little side trip, we headed to the Canal Park in Duluth, and took a little walk on the boardwalk and Tulana did a little shopping. Then it was dinner time.
We drove down to Superior, and stopped by a candy store, Sweeden Sweets. They had fudge, and popcorn and sweets and taffy and... a lot of things bad for us. :) We went there first because they would have closed before we had dinner. We went to dinner at Shorty's Pizza and Smoked Meats. I had the smoked meat soup, and it was awesome. We also had the Thanksgiving Turkey Balls as an appetizer - mashed potatoes, stuffing, and turkey, all rolled into a meatball sized ball, and deep fried, and served with a cranberry dipping sauce. It was pretty good too!
After dinner, we drove back to the hotel. By this time, we were tuckered out, so she took a bath, I updated my blog, and started researching for tomorrow's trip. I'm hoping we can find the headwaters of the Mississippi without too much trouble!
