We are currently set up at our favorite RV spot here in Duluth. This is not really an RV Park as you would expect. This is the Lakehead Boat Basin, a working boat yard and marina. During the winter months, when all the boats must come out of the water, the area where we are parked is used for boat storage. To keep the land producing income they have installed full RV hookups. This is located on a strip of land that divides the Superior Bay from Lake Superior. At the head of this strip is a canal that allows the boats and ships to move from the lake to the shipping piers in the bay. To get across the canal we must cross a large lift bridge. We have a spectacular view of the bay and the harbor, across the marina.
While here we have had a chance to visit with Joanne's friend Sharon, who we saw while we were in the Minneapolis area. She and her husband, Dan, have been building a great cabin on a lake out west of Duluth, on land where her parents had originally had a small cabin. On our way to the cabin we stopped by and picked up Joanne's brother and sister-in-law, Roger and Marilyn. Sharon lived just down the street from Jo's family when they were growing up here in Duluth. Although Jo and Sharon have seen each other several times over the years, Sharon had not seen Roger in over 40 years. Later that evening, Roger and Marilyn came down to the Boat Basin to see our coach. Also, Marilyn had baked Jo a belated birthday cake.
