Lake Superior

It is days like today that make me wonder why so many travelers hit the Interstate and never get off. They miss so much of rural America. To say that today was awesome is an understatement. Except for the fact that I drove 45 miles in the wrong direction and had to drive those 45 miles back again, it was a fabulous day.

The North Shore -- although I don't know why they call it the North Shore because it is really the southern end of Lake Superior. Did you know that Lake Superior is the largest fresh water lake in the world?

The shoreline by a roadside pull-off. And, yes, the water was this red, as was the beach.

Can you guess what this is, because I sure can't. I took one picture from the west side, then another picture from the east side. It is not a fort because the inside was full of twigs and driftwood. (If you click on the picture, it will zoom in.)
