What a pleasant surprise. Neither of us have ever seen Lake Superior before. But we located a campsite on recreation.gov right on the water. After setting up our tent in the mosquito infested site, we took our chairs down to the beach in front of us. It was a very nice sand beach with no mosquitoes!
Lake Superior is big. 350x160 miles (560x260 km). It is also too cold for swimming.
We saw our first true sunset of the trip. We could see the actual horizon.
We went to sleep listening to the gentle slapping of small waves on the beach. The sound was unlike ocean waves and very unlike running water. How pleasant.
Other than that, we found northern Wisconsin and Michigan boring. Mostly, we saw nothing more than the trees near the road. I think we are spoiled and jaded by our recent experiences in The West.
Today, we will cross into Canada for 2-3 days. We may or may not find Internet there.

Aaah, Lake Superior. Now, you're on my home waters. Miss that lake. Don't miss the cold that goes with it.
