Put the Kettle On / by Dave Hileman

We broke camp early and just did escape the heavy rain that followed us for the first 30 miles of our trip south to Duluth. When we arrived at Judge Magney State Park the rain stopped in time for us to hike the mile (and 242 steps!) to the Devil’s Kettle Falls. It is where the falls splits into two streams and the one seems to disappear. I would show you all my amazing photos from there except I left with my battery still in the charger. Oops. I did use the iPhone which is actually a good camera. Then on to the Lakehead Campground in Duluth where we stayed before on the way up the North Shore. On the way we stopped at Betty’s Pies for lunch to go and ate it on a Lake Superior overlook. Back at the trailer it was laundry day. Two weeks worth of clothes into the washer and dryer at the camp site. I went to tour a Great Lakes Freighter, William Irwin, that was built in 1937 for the United States Steel, it was impressive. A walk down the street to a Mexican restaurant for dinner and then we watched a big freighter miss the turn to the canal and spent 30 minutes maneuvering into position. I expect he was embarrassed.

Update Cadillac - where, what and with whom — for his fans.

Fin, as his friends are allowed to call him, not me of course, met someone who was in the “movie biz” and said he would meet us later in Wisconsin. Not likely.
