We drove to Grand Portage today. Mike and I visited Grand Portage National Monument. It is a reconstruction of an 18th Century North West Company Fur Trade Post on the shore of Lake Superior complete with people in period clothing. It had a beautiful log great hall, kitchen, and canoe warehouse. It also had an Indian village that overlooks Isle Royale. In the parking lot we saw a Eurovan Westy parked right next to us. We reserved an RV spot at the marina lodge and casino. Then we drove to the state park and hiked 3.5 miles to High Falls (largest waterfall in MN) and Medium Falls. Both of these falls are located on the Pigeon river along the US/Canadian border. To end our afternoon we saw an awesome "Viva Alaska" rainbow. Then Mike and I headed back to our campsite and went to eat dinner at the casino. We got into an exclusive 50's and 60's sock-hop tent. We were the youngest people there by at least 30 years, but we drank free beer and listened to some great music (security did not notice our lack of a yellow wristband). We gambled $20 on slots and lost it in 5 minutes. Then we called it a night!
