Cross Country Trip – Day 61

19 May 2018

This may be my last post for three days.  I’ll be in Hancock, Michigan tomorrow staying at a cabin hosted by Isle Royale Seaplanes.  The next night I’ll be camping on Isle Royale and the third night, back in the cabin.  Whether or not I have wifi or cell signal is questionable.  I should have it in Hancock, but no guarantees.  It depends on where their cabin is located.

I used the white noise app again last night on my cell phone and got a great night’s sleep.  Either the white noise helped or the fishermen below me all conked out from the night before.  It was cold and rainy when I got up this morning but at least it wasn’t raining when I packed the jeep.

Breakfast was again at the restaurant/bar.  People are more laid back here and relaxed.  It took a while to get the order, breakfast, and then pay them for the meal.  However, I was in no hurry because it was only a 5 hour drive to Ashland, Wisconsin where I’m staying at a Quality Inn.  

I checked in a little after 12:30 pm and I asked for the second floor at Quality Inn so I won’t hear any tromping of feet above me.  The lady at the desk was very nice and upgraded me to a king room that is directly over the lobby.  It has a nice sitting area with a couch and two comfortable chairs, a very large bathroom, a desk, and, of course, a king bed.  Not bad for $107/night and much nicer than the “condo” at the resort which was more expensive.

Tongkat ali can be a great viagra generico cialis way to take advantage of the medicine. Two nights ago at the resort, I closed the door to cut down on the noise.  The next morning, when I opened the door, the molding and the piece of wood that holds the lock came off in my hands.  It looks as if a previous tenant had kicked the door open and shattered the lock piece and undone the molding.

I pushed the lock piece back in place as best as I could and leaned the molding up against the wall.  The next night, the molding attacked me from the rear.  I was lucky none of the brads cut me.  This morning, I debated whether to mention it to the owners.  I then looked more carefully, and was able to push the lock piece back into place and replace the molding.  I’ll let the next tenant worry about it.  The owners don’t seem to care too much about the property.  They seem to never leave the bar/restaurant.  

It was a straight shot from Orr, Minnesota on highway 53 to Ashland, Wisconsin.  I passed through Duluth for the fourth time in my life.  I have to admit the town looks better this trip than the three previous visits.  Duluth is an ore town.  Most of the trains from the west head to Duluth to offload ore and coal to the Great Lakes shipping lines.  In years past, the town looked a little grimy with a thin layer of coal dust all over everything.  Things are looking up for Duluth these days.

The Quality Inn in Ashland sits on Chequamegon Bay of Lake Superior.  Superior always impresses, if not with its size, with the change that takes place within minutes on the lake.  From one minute it is calm and the next is like a raging sea.  At this moment, there are white caps.  

Dinner tonight will be somewhere in Ashland and then tomorrow is a short 3 hour (hopefully) drive to Hancock.  So far the gps in the jeep has been spot on on time.  That means I can sleep late tomorrow and get a late start.  Now I need to check the weather on Isle Royale.

After 34 years in the classroom and lab teaching biology, I'm ready to get back to traveling and camping and hiking. It's been too long of a break. I miss the outdoors and you can follow my wanderings on this blog.
