We left Phillips yesterday after visiting the Concrete Park and traveled through drizzle and damp, cool weather in the morning. By afternoon it was warm and sunny.
Typical Wisconsin farm.
Beautiful old theater in a small town in Wisconsin.
We traveled through woodlands most of the afternoon, mostly on paved 2-lane roads until we neared our evening stop which was down about 5 miles of dirt road back to a secluded home in the woods were we stayed with Evergreen B and B members Don and Jeanette Rantala and their son. They enjoy driving horses and had a Morgan and 2 Norwegian Fjord horses.which are one of the oldest recognized breed of horses, first domesticated and used by the Vikings. They are a relatively small draft horse breed from the mountainous regions of Western Norway. Their manes are unique in that they have a black center with more blond coloring on either side and over the rest of their bodies. Really pretty horses.
This morning we left their place and headed for Minnesota with the prospect of warmer weather and bright blue skies and fluffy clouds. We had a route planned over a portion of Lake Superior, but as it turned out, the road came to a dead end with no way to get to the Minnesota side. Oh well, it was a beautiful drive with little traffic (can't imagine why!!) and we only had to backtrack about 10-15 miles. We went another route and crossed over the bridge into Duluth, Minnesota. I had never been to Minnesota so I was pretty excited to get the opportunity to see it. Now only Alaska and Hawaii to see!
No problems today, just a nice, scenic ride.
