Lutsen

Due to the toilet issues we had to adjust our plan.  Welcome to the life of an RVer.  Originally we were going to drive Harvey from the Twin Cities up to the Lutsen/Grand Marais area along the north shore of Lake Superior. We have a spot up there to store Harvey while we stay with our friends Barb and Dan MacKenzie.  From there we were going to Ely then toward Voyager National Park.  So we adjusted.  Leave Harvey in storage in the cities and go by car to Lutsen.  Then we got a text from Danna MacKenzie that she and her husband could not come to Lutsen over the 4th of July but if we were available we could come to Bayfield, Wisconsin the next weekend.  If we could they would take out to the Apostle Islands on their 36 foot house boat.  Well with Harvey in storage in the cities until mid July this was a no brainer.  So from Lutsen we go to Bayfield to Voyager NP then back to the cities where we will stay with Diana's brother Charlie until we can get Harvey fixed.  While a bit of a hassle this toilet break down should have minimal effect on our travel.

While in Lutsen we took a drive then a hike to Thompson water falls.  The hike was easy and beautiful.

The wild flowers along the way were in full bloom.

It was peak season for Lupine

Another day we managed to get in a round of golf.  The course was not great but the veiws were excellent.

This is the front Tee box and you drive over the Poplar River.  Notice the ski slopes in the background.

Off course we went to Grand Marais for lunch at Sven & Ole's for pizza.  Mushrooms, Canadian bacon and wild rice pizza.

With the proper beverages!

On the 4th of July we saw some fireworks over Grand Marais harbor.

This is where we stay in Lutsen.  Our dear friend Barb and Dan MacKenzie own this log home.
