Remember? We are in Minnesota, land of 10,000 lakes and 10 million mosquitoes!
Another boat trip, but that is the only way to see Voyageurs National Park.
After the boat trip we returned to camp to give Daisy a little quality time.
We are in Minnesota, land of lakes, iron mines, trees, and mushrooms.
We discovered quite by accident the Greyhound Museum! It was very interesting and unique.
We went to the museum to learn more about iron mining…
There was a very interesting traveling exhibit on…
(Was this Poop Exhibit an attempt to get 10 year old boys into a museum?)

Visiting another mine.
We toured an abandoned mine now owned by the state. This was an eye opening tour which explained why there were so many bars in town and this was a good clean mine! Mining is HARD WORK and I am glad I never had to do it!

We have been trying to get to Ely Minnesota since 2005 when we met a lady from this area who told us how wonderful it is. Finally we are here, it is a cute town with intriguing looking shops and I am not going to just drive right on by!!!!
Even after 42 years together, Jamie amazes me!

More Voyageur history here just before we enter Canada.
This was a wildflower I had seen and puzzled about over a month ago. Now that I see the white as well as the yellow version I'm able to ID it in my book!

I just may write a book about the different shower experiences in parks!
Later that day…
We will eventually go on that bike ride to silver Islet but right now we are at the end of this week!
This is in the town of Thunder Bay, Ontario.
