We were up there a few years ago when it was foggy the night before. The next day (Engineers Day) there were like 27 boats up and down. Very fun day!

Saw that too. Saw somewhere that the Cort is going in early now. Feel bad for the crew who had plans to be home or other places for the holidays

Still there this afternoon. They have a truck crane positioned by the stern area.

Take a trip over the rock cut if you can. Great spot for watching Boats.

It was a great weekend, sorry to see it end so soon. Friday was crazy with all the boat traffic. Sunday morning at the Rock Cut was an excellent viewing experience with the Burns Harbor and Algosoo passing downbound.

I can grab some curds but have to warn you that what we get this far north are already a few days old. To overcome that we have learned to nuke them for a few seconds to bring back the squeakiness... Looking forward to being there.

Who is headed up for Engineer's Day? Four of us Cheeseheads from Hayward are going and looking forward to the weekend.

In Grand Marais check out the Lake Superior brewing Company. Good sandwiches, Great locally brewed barley pop. Their Agate Ale is worth the trip if you like a darker beer.

Up at Copper Harbor we enjoyed the Harbor Haus for German cuisine.

They are building a micro brewery on that site I believe

Canal Park and the Maritime museum are your first stops in Duluth. Dinner right next door at Grandma’s is always a good choice. While you’re in the area take part of a day and drive up the north shore on hwy 61 to Two Harbors, Split Rock Lighthouse and Gooseberry Falls and you will not be ...
