Saturday morning we headed west to Duluth MN to meet Sandy's folks and had reservations at the Days Inn there. I found the staff here very, very friendly. I deemed them trail mutt approved!
 |
| They can take care of customers and scratch me, all at the same time. |
 |
| Oh ya. |
 |
| The whole staff was friendly like this. |
 |
| I got to lay on the bed with Grampa Ray. Gramma made him dress up for going to the symphony concert. |
 |
| I found friendly people everywhere! These were some Canadians, our neighbors to the north. |
 |
| You know I love some good ear scratching. |
 |
| Sunday morning we headed to Canal Park to seek adventure. |
 |
| I found walls to jump up on. |
 |
| The bridge only had to raise up a tad for this little Coast Guard boat. |
 |
| I managed to find many more friendly people. And kids! |
 |
| These nice folks were visiting from Fargo. |
 |
| Ya you can touch me too. |
 |
| The pack took a cruise on the Vista Queen. This was taken off her stern. |
 |
| They went out on the Big Lake first. |
 |
| We cruised past some salts anchored out here. That means its an ocean going boat. |
 |
| Then they toured the harbor. This was the BAIE COMEAU unloading grain. |
 | ||
| The BAIE COMEAU is a new Trillium class boat which came to the lakes this summer. |
 |
| My pal Terry is on this boat! |
 |
| The American Century is loaded with coal. |
 |
| She's a BIG one! |
 |
| Where's Terry? |
 |
| I think we missed him. Bye, bye. Hope we see you soon! |
 |
| Under the Blatnik bridge. |
 |
| At the DM & IR taconite dock. She's unloading limestone. |
 |
| The CG cutter Alder was resting at her home pier. |
 |
| Next the pack wandered around the shops. I didn't need no stinkin' pooch hitch. |
 |
| The Duluth Pack store is dog-friendly. |
 |
| It's trail mutt approved! |
 |
| Here I met the friendly staff. I LOVE them. |
 |
| We went to see the Rose Garden to finish off our adventure packed day. |
