Mile 1534 – Cloquet, Minnesota<\/strong>, just west of Duluth. Traveled the south coast of Lake Superior, into a cold front which cleared out the humidity and knocked the temperature down to my comfort level (between +80 and -80 F). Empty roads. Put my feet into Lake Superior and visited the village of Bayfield, Wisconsin, which reminded us of a coastal village on the Atlantic.<\/p>\n

Today we followed Lake Superior along the Upper Pennisula of Michigan and the north coast of Wisconsin under constantly changing cloudscapes. In Michigan, we started off under cloudy skies, but a few miles beyond Munising, the sun burst forth and we walked barefoot through fine, orange sand down to the beach. In Wisconsin, a scenic detour brought us to Bayfield, a town that reminded us of New England, and the late afternoon sun turned an ordinary wayside stop near the Iron River into an art gallery.<\/p>\n

In between peeks at the Great Lake, we followed some of the straightest roads I have ever seen— miles and miles of the road opening before us and disappearing behind us in monotonous lines.<\/p>\n
