In the morning we had $0.25 and $0.50 showers, a nice in-RV breakfast, flushed tanks and then headed for the Wisconsin border on Hwy 2. Our first stop in Wisconsin was Ashland which is famous for the Ashland Soo Line Ore dock. Unfortunately this dock was torn down last year. Murals throughout the city depict life in the late 19th century and shows the dock in its glory.

Pepsi briefly made friends with a cat before scaring her off with a big “woof”.

We found the Gabriele bakery where we stocked up on gummy bears and cookies.

We then took a side trip to Bayfield on Hwy 13 and had a white fish lunch at the Greunke’s Fine Food Restaurant.

 

Bayfield is famous for its fisheries.

We booted through the rest of Wisconsin and stopped in Grand Rapids, Minnesota for dinner at New Grand Buffet Chinese restaurant across the Blandin Paper Company mill.

We made it almost to the North Dakota border staying in a Walmart parking lot in Crookston, Minnesota.
