Part 6 of 6

We asked the folks at the Lakeshor Motel where they suggested for breakfast. They recommended Northgate Café. It was perfect. Good food. Good price.
Neither the Lakeshor Motel nor the Northgate Café are places you’d find passing through Virginia. One of the locals has to point you to them.
We made a gas stop in Duluth, crossed the bridge into Wisconsin, and headed south on Highway 53. It was a beautiful day, warm and sunny. We had a nice drive. We made another sightseeing stop at the Gordon Dam on the St. Croix River. I had never been there so it was nice to see. I’m glad Jim knew where he was going because I would have never found it on my own.
As we continued down Highway 53 we hit a detour at Minong, and it was a loooong detour. It took us east on Highway 77 all the way to Hayward, and then on highway 27 to Spooner. The scenery was nice and we saw a windmill in Hayward, but it was a lot of extra driving.
We made a few “regular” stops at the Veterans’ Rest Stop and the Arcadia Kwik Trip. Jim had me home by 5:00pm.
Great trip! Thanks Steve and Greg and especially Jim.
Oh yeah, why was this trip called “The Visions of Sin Trip”? Well in camp on Bootleg the conversation turned to rock bands of our youth. Jim was in a band called “The Visions of Sin”. The name tickled us and we decided give our trip that name. Sorry to say there wasn’t much sinning or even visions of sinning. Catchy name though, eh?
