MN is the happiest State, as I read in my email link this morning-and here I am, happy in the happiest state! The campground hostess, Joy, is a delight to chat with, which we did for quite some time! Then I continued on the Lake Superior Circle route through Duluth, Grand Marais, etc. to Canadian customs, which was unpleasant and time consuming. Sending love to the Customs official whose search of my car, leaving quite a mess, gave me a personal challenge. Proving I had the financial wherewithal to cover expenses for the maximum of 18 days I planned to be in Canada was at issue; but without internet connectivity, I couldn’t access my accounts to prove my solvency. Finally, I realized my American Express card has an unlimited credit line-so I called the phone number on Custom’s phone and handed the phone to the Customs official to verify unlimited credit line. Whew! By 5:50 I was on my way. Tomorrow headed to Amethyst Panorama in Shuniah!
Amethyst Panorama open from 10am- 5 pm and I arrived at 10:05, leaving at 4:30 pm. Amazing! Not just huge amethyst on display with single crystals the size of my fist, but acres of land loaded with amethyst and crystals. Just once it rained, even though foggy and overcast all day. Oh the rocks, their beauty and uniqueness overwhelming me!
Drove route 11/17, with stunning views the entire way, to Penn Lake Park in Marathon, where I spent the night of rainstorms to arise, shower, and be on my way to Pukaskwa Canadian National Park just a half-hour away. Rain is forecast for today and the weekend-rain gear with umbrella are ready. Enjoy the blessed day!
