What a delightful surprise when we reached our Apostle Island Campgrounds. On-site, they have constructed a gigantic waterhole where you can cool off. The temperature was 30+ so we embraced it. Aside from the tasty Wisconsin Ice cream, I think the experience we’ll remember most from the Apostle Islands is the sea caves. Our cruise took us by Devils Island which is surrounded by sea caves. Incredible! The next day it was on to all things ships and shipwrecks. I believe Dad thought the Meteor (the last existing Whaleback freighter) was going to be his highlight until the Anderson experience. We had just reached our campsite in Duluth when Dad checked the schedule for the lift bridge to discover that Arthur M. Anderson was about to pass through. The Anderson was the ship following right behind the Edmund Fitzgerald when it went down. They received the Fitzgerald’s last message. Well, needless to say, he hopped in the car and rushed in to see this piece of history. From Duluth north, it was all things lighthouses and waterfalls. We are back in Canada and are currently camping a Kakabeka Falls. These powerful falls provide power for over 22000 homes. We’ll miss Minnesota and having Betty’s famous pies for breakfast, but it felt good to cross the border. You are Always in my Prayers. Love Mom. P.S. It is definitely NOT 30+ degrees here.
