Visiting Minnesota and Iowa

Lake Superior North Shore Scenic Drive, MN

Wow! We've picked up the pace and have visited many places in these past couple of weeks!

This is a quiet campground located in a back portion of the base. It's the kind of place we enjoy staying at. During our 3-day stay here, we visited the Ronald Reagan...
