Quote from: K-Dog on Jan 21, 2026, 07:40 PMThe drive along the lake edge is something I'll never forget. Been from Duluth to Grand Portage a few times. Family trips growing up. Before I saw the real thing, Lake Superior was the ocean. Water under a full moon as far as the eye can see. Mostly flat yes, but there is a point miles north of Duluth where the road rises on cliffs high enough where my young eyes could see the curvature of the earth.
I love the UP of Michigan. I discovered that a decade before I began roaming around any part of Minnesota. Stopped when I got to Eagle River....liked it so much I took my mother through it on a visit to see her stepson in Duluth. I ended up in Minnesota the first time leaving from the Fort Peck Indian Reservation and running the US/Canadian border to International Falls. I liked its woods. Isn't there a Jolly Green Giant statue down in the southern end of the state along a big road? I thought that was cool when I found it randomly.
