Trip around Lake Superior - Day 7

We left Duluth and headed toward Canada (through Pigeon River).  On our way we stopped by the Split Rock Lighthouse.  We got there early before the visitor's center opened and didn't have the pass we needed to get into Minnesota state parks so, we parked near the visitor center .. found some men working the woods who told us we could go down some stairs to get to the beach and see the lighthouse ..

Then, on to Canada. I was a little worried, driving a rental car into Canada but the border crossing was a breeze.  They didn't even ask about the car or insurance of anything.  




I had to take a picture of the speed limit sign -- 90 -- of course, it's kilometers per hour rather than miles per hour but still fun to see.

We stopped off at the Nipigon Bridge to take a picture and there was this incredible lookout tower.  Unfortunately I don't have a picture of that but I do have pics taken from the lookout tower.




And then we pulled over at another spot to look at Lake Superior from the Canada side.


We stayed that night at Terrace Bay -- we didn't find Terrace Bay (the water part) and this was the only hotel I wasn't happy with.  It was okay.  It was clean.  But I wouldn't stay there again.
