Day 5 - 300 miles of Lake Superior shoreline

Day 5

Early morning, chilly, foggy departure from Marathon, Ontario and landed in Duluth, Minnesota.  Entire trip following the beautiful Lake Superior Shoreline. Crossed back into the US at Pigeon River.  Tomorrow morning we leave the Great Lakes and head west to the source of the Mississippi River at Lake Itacsa, Minnesota.  All systems go.  Bikes are running great.  Only one little rain burst, but we stopped immediately at the Pay Flats Native American village and ate ice cream and waited out the rain.  No more moving video photos.

I am not sure what these billion yellow flowers are, but until anybody proves differently I think they are opium poppies, just like in the Wizard of Oz.

Bikes resting, Schultz reading about the 30,000 feet think lava flow (yes, 6 miles thick according to the sign, that formed Lake Superior a few ( a lot of) years ago.
