Duluth adventures!

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.
