Day 216 – North Shore Drive – Part 2

Day 216 of Year Long Road Trip Along America’s Scenic Byways

Last night’s storm was so incredible that when the lightning and thunder hit at once, VANilla shook!  It has been so hot, that I forgot I left the small roof hatch tilted up to release the stagnant air overnight. Consequently, I awoke to a soaked dog bed this morning.  Oh well, it could be worse. The bed could have been wet and dirty instead of wet and clean.  I should have known it would rain.  That’s what happens after laundry day. Upon cleaning up the mess, we set out for another day on Minnesota’s North Shore.

ON THE ROAD AGAIN!

Day 215 – North Shore Drive

Day 215 of Year Long Road Trip Along America’s Scenic Byways

Despite the thermometer in VANilla reading 82 degrees at midnight, today was remarkably better than yesterday.  We had a busy day traveling Minnesota’s North Shore.  I left from Duluth and drove 30 minutes north to Two Harbors. At Two Harbors, Petey joined me for a walk around Agate Bay where we admired an old tugboat, watched the ore shipping process, and searched for geocaches around the lighthouse.
