A couple days before my trip ended, Keith and I parted ways in Minneapolis. I rented a car and drove north with no real idea as to where I would end up. I wanted to drive to the NE corner or Minnesota and take a boat to Isle Royale, but since I've always wanted to go there, I decided to save that for another time when I get to the island, hike and camp. So, I drove to Duluth, MN and headed east about an hour and ended up in the area around Bayfield, WI located on the said bay and peninsula.

The Bayfield, WI area, like many places in the North, takes full advantage of the warm summer months and packs in as much celebration and culture as possible. There is a big top set up all summer at the base of a local ski area and they have performances all summer.
I missed the Capitol Steps political satire group by one night but I did get to hear a tribute to Nat King Cole.
Next up was sea kayaking along the shore of Lake Superior. The weather perfect and the Northeasterly wind was a perfect tail wind to make the paddle home quick and easy.
