On this leg of the trip, our wheels touched the surface of three States from Ishpeming, Michigan to Superior, Wisconsin, with a day trip to Duluth, Minnesota.  The cityscapes of Superior and Duluth are very industrial with active port cities; however, there are nice views of Lake Superior from both cities.  Duluth also offers a great landmark in its Aerial Lift Bridge, which was built in 1905.  The highlight of our time in the area was using the boardwalk to get to historic Fitger\u2019s Brewhouse and Grill ( https:\/\/fitgers.com\/fitgers-history\/ <\/a> ) where we enjoyed a delicious wild rice burger.  We\u2019ve noticed the promotion of wild rice in Michigan and Wisconsin on restaurant signs and at road side markets.  The World Wide Web explains that \u201cThe historical ties of wild rice to Native American cultures are strong. It was the Great Lakes and its tributary rivers that drew various tribes to Wisconsin and Minnesota through a prophecy that encouraged them to \u2018go where the food grows in the water.\u2019\u201d  Our trip continues to be enjoyable and enlightening!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re not sure if it\u2019s a Wisconsin thing, but the toilets at our campsite don\u2019t give much privacy (see photo below).<\/p>\n\n\n
