Hi Lamar,

Glad you had such a good time in Minnesota. Diane and I were up there the week before Rosemont and fell in love with the area. When we went to Split Rock the weather was lousy. Rain was just ending from an all night storm and thick fog was rolling in off the lake. We both felt that this added to the experience of the lighthouse visit. That kind of weather is why lighthouses were built.

We were enchanted with the three lighthouses at Duluth Harbor. I read somewhere that this is probably the only place in the U.S. that you can photograph three active lighthouses that are different types with one picture. The area around the waterfront has a lot of shops and restaurants that are fun to visit. The plastic took a real hit there.

We also visited Wisconsin Point (Superior Breakwater). This is a little house that has curved walls in the front and back and straight walls on the sides. The breakwater is pretty long but the hike over the large rocks was worth it. We would like to see HL make replicas of all these breakwater lighthouses someday.
