I had no room for them, but I let them use my barn in the back yard. It's a very nice night tonight. A person may think it was nice enough for a king.

On the way to Duluth we had a road detour down a dirt road. We made it to Duluth MN, and then through Two Harbors MN up the north shore of Lake Superior past the Split Rock Lighthouse.   At Silver Bay, we took a left on Hwy 1 to Ely MN.  At that point ran clouds started to haunt us as we flew west.      Ely was the most northern point of our trip.  We were almost in Canada at that point.  While in Ely we stopped for a BBQ sandwhich.  Turns out that the family running the place new a friends family (Becky [Durham] Taylor).      We left Ely and headed to Hibbing.   I should have taken a picture of the Law Enforcement Officer that stopped to admire the Goldwing in the city of Eveleth MN.   That sounded bad didn't it.   Seriously, we pulled over at
