Candy Westfield and I drove around Lake Superior last week. Though I have made the trip twice before, it was every bit as splendid the third time around. Since we both knew we have many returns trips to Minnesota's north shore in our future we bee-lined it to Thunder Bay making just enough side trips (Shovel Point for the view, Coho Cafe for tea, Grand Marais for smoked fish to name a few...) to make it to Thunder Bay to catch some Canadian zzzzzzzzz's. I caught a glimpse of my favorite Suzie Islands just before sundown.
We toured a cheese shop just outside of Thunder Bay that made wonderful aged Gouda and made our way to Rossport Ontario for a delightful stay at Serendipity Inn. The journey from Rossport to Wawa Ontario is on the top of my scenic drive list. The kayak outfitters just outside of Wawa made for a great respid after hiked the beaches and pictographs of Lake Superior Provincial Park. We even picked late-season blueberries along the way. Candy knew of some great beaches in Michigan with amazing colored rocks. Our last stop was Bayfield, Wisconsin and Madeline Island.
Just as the trip to the Porcupines earlier this summer reminded me - the northern forests of Lake Superior forever feel like home.
