Duluth, MN


We've moved on up to Duluth, MN to await for the volunteer RV sites to open at Voyageurs.  After having the Pinnacle combo washer/dryer removed, we made overnight stops at North Utica, IL (Hickory Hollow RV Park), Oakdale, WI (KOA), Grand Casino RV Park at Hinckley, MN, and then to Ogston RV Park just north of Duluth.



Pictures are of the loons here on the ponds at the RV park, Goosebury Falls State Park on the north shore of Lake Superior just north of Two Harbors, and the ice on Lake Superior.  Since arriving, it's rained every day with severe thunderstorms on Wednesday & Thursday. Not great for outside activities, but you get things done.

Concerning the Pinnacle combo washer/dryer.  We're told that the damage was due to overloading.  Apparently, it can't handle 5 lbs of underwear, so we're leaving it back at Lagrange, IN and ordering a new Splendide 2100 XC.  We can't travel through this part of the country without something breaking.  This time, the locking mechanism for the pocket door broke, and it appears we've had one corner of the kitchen slide jump a tooth or two on the slide mechanism gearing.  Nothing like good ol' US interstates to create demand for repairs.  We're able to still lock the pocket door in place for the time being and added a shower curtain rod to prop against it to minimize movement while we travel.  No idea how to realign the slide as the alignment guides are already at their max limit of travel.  So that goes on the September work order. 

Anyway, it looks like a rainy day to travel to Rainy Lake on Friday.  Later, David
