Of course they have all kinds of old-fashioned drive in style food and ice cream. Friday's ride will be to the Thomson Hill Overlook where Sheldon Aubut will give a presentation on the history of Duluth and the surrounding area, then a ride into town to the Canal Park district. This is an area of museums, shops, piers, restaurants, with plenty to do, and many sights to see. If our timing is right you may even see a 1,000 ft ore carrier going through the channel. There we will plan on a couple of hours to see the sights, then make a leisurely trip back to the campground.
Folks can also go off and see other sites around the area.
We will provide maps and tourist packets. The ride on Saturday, will be about 75 miles. The first section will be through Jay Cooke State Park . This is an eight mile stretch of winding twisting downhill roadway following the routes of the Cloquet and St. Louis Rivers. The river path is incredibly beautiful, with waterfalls and rapids, bridges, overlooks and the mixed pine and hardwood forest.
