This park is part of a working farm, with 2 lakes and vintage Corvettes!
We immediately drive into Duluth for the Tall Ships Festival. There are about 14 sailing ships here now, with some available for tours, others for cruises. Both big and small ships, but not as impressive as when they are sailing. Steve goes into town on Monday to see the ships take off for their next port.

Steve meets up with Brad and Nancy, who are staying in a park right across the port.
One day we take a trip up the North Shore Drive from Duluth to the Grand Portage National Monument. On the way, we stop at the Split Rock Lighthouse.

Grand Portage is the place where the British and French traders brought their ships to trade for pelts. This was a thriving Ojibway village until after the Revolutionary War, when the British moved their trading post to Thunder Bay, Canada.
