On the Road Again

We got up to sunshine and Spring warmth, the first I’ve been told they’ve had in Ely this year. With the house all shut down, the car loaded, we headed south out of town. There is a small amount of sadness at leaving, but Cody and I will both be back in early August.

So anyhow we stopped at what used to be the BP station, and grab a strange mix to call breakfast. Cody had a can of cold ravioli, and I had a bag of beef jerky. When got to Duluth we hit the Best Buy to pick up a couple of comedy CD for the road, and than headed for WI. We ate lunch at a little dinner, which I wouldn’t recommend to anyone. It was called the Brackers. We passed lakes including the big one, and trees, and trees, and more trees. Can anyone say long boring drive with nothing new or different to look at for hours. [Sorry I’m from Vermont, we like our hills]. Cody and I did talk about how the little towns in Michigan’s UP have seen there better days.

We stopped by the Da Yooper’s Tourist Trap. Cool place worth the time to get out of the car for. The three words Red Neck Trash about covers it. Hey where else can you see the worlds largest snow blower.

So anyhow tonight after seven hours in a rental car we are in Marquette,MI. A quick meal delivered to the room from Domino’s, and if we look closely out of our room a view of Lake Superior. It's all good.
