After the Madison FMCA Rally we drove back over to Minnesota and headed North. We stopped at Hinkley MN and stayed for 5 or 6 days at a great Casino RV Park there.
We drove over to Danbury Wisconsin, about 25 miles, where my Grandma lived when I was a kid, and where my Mom grew up. We always went there in the Summer for vacation. We found where my Grandma's house used to be, and the cemetery where many of my Grandparents, Mon, Aunt and Uncle and a lot of other family members are buried. We spent a few hours there at the cemetery pulling weeds and cleaning up the area, it looked like it needed some attention.
Joe played golf a couple of times at the golf course the casino had and we had a good time there, of course we went over to the casino a couple of times, but they were not giving away money, so that was no good. This was a beautiful park and we had a lot of fun. Ed and Rosemary even drove up from St Paul to have dinner with us one night. After a week, we decided that we would head over to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, so we packed up and headed up further North to Duluth Minnesota, these two pictures were taken there.

Then across the Northern part of Wisconsin along the Lake Superior shore. Lake Superior is so large, it looks like the ocean. We Took these pictures in Ashland WI. This town has murals painted on the sides of all of the buildings uptown. They are all about the history of the town, the railroad and iron ore industry, and shipping and fishing Industries.
We were fascinated by the Iron ore docks. The trains carrying the iron ore runs out on the dock and then the barge that is taking the ore pulls up next to the dock and these big chutes open and drop ore into the barge.They are so huge and it takes many train cars to fill them up, in fact, it is an all day process, we watched it one day for several hours.
