Cloquet to Indian Lake

Canal Park, Duluth

Side Trip to Bayview Park
It's a little beach park just off of WI-13 between Washburn and Bayfield, Wisconsin. We'd passed it twice yesterday and had promised ourselves we'd stop this morning then before we'd realized it, we passed it again. We're glad we made a turnaround and came back. We...
Memorial Park Washburn

Transfer to Tween Creeks
Since Redford, our 2016 Ford F-150 is in the shop for a week we were fortunate that Jim, a dear friend and fellow T@B owner offered to hitch Bell@, our T@B 400 to his truck and deliver her to our next stop. It turned out to be not quite seamless. Jim's trailer has the...
