We didn’t leave camp until about 11 am.  We drove south toward Duluth.  The first stop we made was at Cascade Falls.  We hiked up to the falls near where it flows into Lake Superior.  Then we stopped at Split Rock Lighthouse State Park.  The lighthouse and outbuildings have been restored.  We got to hear the fog horn even though it was a bright beautiful day.  We had to take a trail and 174 steps down to the shore to be able to get a good picture of the lighthouse.  Of course then we had to go back up the stairs.  We also stopped at Gooseberry Falls State Park and walked to the falls there.   

After getting an RV site at Two Harbors city park we drove into town and saw their lighthouses.  We also looked for a geocache here with another guy who was looking and none of us could find it.  We left and stopped at the American Legion for one beer and then went back to  camp.  I fixed dinner while Jim sat outside and looked at maps and books to see where to go tomorrow.
