WE’RE ON A BRIEF ROAD TRIP, visiting Duluth, Minnesota, and then heading on to Minneapolis. Lots of driving and hiking and seeing wonderful things. Like the St. Louis River, tumbling over its slate riverbed and banks in Jay Cooke State Park, about 20 minutes outside Duluth. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources has this to say about this stunning place: “The Precambrian Thomson Formation is located within Jay Cooke State Park. The formation is a layer of mud that was compressed and hardened into shale, then compressed further into slate, and finally folded. This formation is about two billion years old.”
Lots of delicious food is being had too, just none of it prepared by us. So no recipe now—but check in next week.
Have a swell time! It’s been way too long since we’ve hit the road.
Hope you have a wonderful trip.
I love road trips ! Great way to experience new and old places in this country. Chat about some of the food or good restaurants you go to , I’d like to know for future reference ?
