We camped with Amy’s college friends Ann & Gary at Jay Cooke State Park, with its rugged slate and greywacke formations in the St. Louis River, then spent the next day sight-seeing in Duluth.
The maritime museum displays on the origin of the Great Lakes, historical ships and shipwrecks, and methods of handling cargos such as iron ore shipped from Duluth in today’s huge ships were very well done.
Ann & Gary treated us to a lunch of pistachio-crusted walleye sandwiches at a favorite restaurant of theirs. At the aquarium we saw some nice large Lake Sturgeon, Lake Trout, Burbot, and other Great Lakes fishes in the large tank, as well as displays on a wide variety of both local and exotic freshwater and marine life. We topped the day off with ice cream at one of the shops in the lively waterfront area.
Ah….. ice cream! Sounds like you are having a great time!
