Westy travellers interested in visiting the Lake
Superior region may want to check out the travelogue
and photos of our recent visit there:

The highlights of our two-week, 1000-mile
circumnavigation of Superior include Madeline Island
in the Apostles, Duluth and the Arrowhead Country of
northern Minnesota, Fort William near Thunder Bay, the
North Shore and Sault Ste. Marie, the historic Copper
Country of Michigan's Keweenaw Peninsula, and many
scenic and historic points in between. We were
especially entranced by the Keweenaw Peninsula, in
Michigan's Upper Peninsula, so we lingered several
days here, exploring the old copper mines,
lighthouses, rugged coastline, and camping at the
1800s fort.

We stuck pretty close to the shore for the entire
route, and orbited in a clockwise fashion, affording
the best views of the lakeshore outside the passenger
window. The various geological and glacial activity
which occurred throughout the upper Great Lakes region
is on full display around Superior, giving her
arguably the most scenic and ruggedly beautiful shores
of any of the Lakes.

Enjoy!
