This
was a really long travel day.
The
Route
We took MN-371 north from Crow
Wing Lake Campground to MN-210, MN-210 east to I-35, I-35 north to US-53 in
Duluth, then US-2 through Wisconsin into Michigan, and MI-28 to Michigamme. It
was a 345 mile journey.
About the Day
Today was another sunny day. The temperature reached a high of 81°. We were up early and on the road by 9:30.
Along the Way
Our highway fortunes changed quite a bit today. Most of our
travel was on two-lane roads. MN-210 and US-2 were pretty rough in spots.

Duluth is an impressive port city and is, by far, the largest city
we passed today.
Travel Trivia
Camp Ripley is a training facility operated by the Minnesota
National Guard. It’s near Crow Wing Lake
Campground. We learned about it late last night … when they conducted tank artillery
exercises. Boom, boom, boom!
The Campground
We’re staying at Michigamme
Shores Campground. Our site is large, attractive and peaceful. There’s probably
something funny we could say about the name “Michigamme”, but we’ll leave it
alone because they allowed two Buckeyes to camp here.

Tomorrow
We’re heading for Sault Ste. Marie.
