Just a word about Lake Superior. I always knew the lake was big. After all it is called "Superior" But you really do not get a sense of just how large it is until you follow some of it's shores for a day and a half. We started to see some of the bays of Lake Superior through Michigan and stayed along her shores all the way through Wisconsin the next day. You might think after following a day and a half that we would have covered an entire shoreline. In reality, though, it was only one small corner of the lake. Years ago I travelled along the north shore of the lake in Northern Ontario and it was amazing. I wonder how long it would take to go all the way around it?
One of the things they do really well in the US is provide roadside rest stops. They are all very clean, and most provide bathroom facilities, picnic tables and, in some cases, a person to provide you with any travel information you might need. We stopped at these rest areas at least twice per day. I only seemed to take pictures of the ones near water on the trip here, but I will take pictures of some of the others coming home.
While at one of the rest stops Rick saw what he thought was a softball so he went to investigate it. Turns out it was a huge mushroom! I offered to pick it and serve it to him that night with dinner but he wanted no part of it. i wonder if it will still be there next trip and how big it will get? The pictures do not really give you any idea of just how big this thing was.
