June 21, 2010 On The Road to the East Coast

It's acutaly June 27 as I try to catch up. This is the first night we have had Internet at the campsite since we left a week ago.

We were hitched up and away by about
9AM June 21.
















A quick run to the border and down the north shore of Lake Superior in Minnesota.

We stopped for lunch at a roadside rest within site of Duluth. A quick lunch was in order so we wouldn't get wet from an approaching storm. We finished just in time and on the road again.









It could not have rained any harder for most of the rest of the day. We stopped at the Northern Great Lakes Visitor Center just outside of Ashland Wisc - very intersesting displays on mining and forestry in the area - not an hours worth of interesting but it was raining so hard we stayed inside until the rain was past.
We took the highway north to Washburn and stayed the night at Washburn Memorial Campground. Not very busy yet. We managed to get dinner cooked, dishes done and fit in a walk before the rain started again. An early night was in order. The mileage with the Jetta towing the Rascal was as good as we expected - 52 Cdn mpg (42 US mgp). Thats about 10 less than if we weren't towing.
