Moving on

Thursday morning after the donut breakfast and farewells we departed for Duluth. Spent the night in downtown Duluth at the Marina where they have rv parking. Walked around the harbor area and watched the big lake freighters come in.




Typical freight is iron ore, coal, grain, etc. This one about a 1000 foot long.




This is a smaller ship than above, they pass under this bridge from Lake Superior into the Duluth harbor. The road is elevated to allow passage, it lowers after they pass through. The marina we stayed at is on the left side of the bridge, as we drove in from the right we were stopped for about 15 minutes for the top boat to pass. Leisurely got out of the rv to take the pictures.




Our friends Lynn and Claudia who organized the fun rally at Grand Marais. Now these folks really travel, they traded in their 2006 View last year with 200,000 miles on it and already have 50K on the new one. We met them in 2008 and usually meet up somewhere every year.




Larry and Virginia attended the rally and generously make these wind turbines for some of the lucky attendees, Nita got one and is demonstrating it at the windy Duluth marina. They are a work of art made from aluminum cans.
