Saturday, 9/21: 267 miles and parked at Northland RV Park, Superior, Wisconsin
 |
| Site 7 |
We left Lake Emily at 9:00 and arrived at Northland about 1:30. The drive was uneventful with scattered showers all day. The campground was very wet. They apparently had more than just scattered showers. We tied the dogs out on the lawn while we set up. That was a mistake. Not only were they wet, they were covered in mud. Nothing like 2 wet, muddy dogs in the camper with us. Over night we lost electrical power. We still had batter power, but no 110 volts, so no coffee pot. Mike, one of the owners, had us back in business within 30 minutes after I reported it. Turned out to be a bad breaker. on the power pole.
Minnesota is our destination tomorrow.
Sunday, 9/22: 186 miles and parked at Lake Itasca State Park, Minnesota
 |
| Bear Paw campground, Site 67e |
We left Northland about 10:00 and arrived at Lake Itasca about 3:00. We drove a lap around the campsite loop and decided we could not fit in the reserved spot, so we made a quick visit to the checkin office. They were very accommodating and recommended a site with a lake view. Turned out to be perfect. This campground is electric only, but no problem since we're here for only one night. We had to water up, which was not easy because there was only spot, and it was very crowded. The weather was in the mid 60's and partly sunny. It was a beautiful afternoon. The sunset views were great and the early morning fog views were equally as nice.

This park includes the headwaters of the Mississippi River. The next morning we went to the Headwaters Interpretive Center. It was a short walk to the Lake Itasca outlet. For several years I've wanted to visit the source of the Mississippi.
