Two Harbors

After leaving Duluth on Tuesday morning, August 7, we headed up the north shore of Lake Superior, and stopped in Two Harbors for lunch. We stopped at a park on Agate Harbor, with a view of an ore ship being loaded, and a rocky beach for hunting agates. While Karen fixed a picnic lunch, the boys played on another beach. After lunch, we walked over to the other beach where other folks were hunting agates. Unfortunately, they didn't know much better than we did what a raw agate looks like. So we each grabbed a few pretty rocks and took them along with us. Later Karen found something that talked about agates, and I think she actually found some. Must be her interest in gems for her beading hobby.

On the way out of town, we stopped back at some old trains we saw near by and spent five minutes checking them out. That seemed to be enough for the boys, who were only promised five minutes to look.
