Lake Superior, Minnesota

Still no Wi-Fi, so I can't update my map in the right. Now, I am likely to be in small roads and won't find Internet fir a while. iPhone it is! The success if today was a goal I set myself last night: to not use the GPS. Yesterday, it brought me a lot of grief, misjudging distances to turns or deleting the address numbers of remote parks and sensing me out into the countryside, on roads I could not reverse navigate. I stacked my wrinkled map pages onto my clipboard, picked highways over freeways and set their numbers to memory, and was on my way. It was a much more enjoyable drive. It has also brought me at last to a cross-continental two-lane highway, Route 2, which I will set out on tomorrow (I'm currently in Duluth). I'm not sure where I will camp tomorrow, but Saturday night I will be in Grand Rapids, North Dakota.

I will try to "typecast" (type-written blogging) again in the morning before I head out. I also have lots of pictures I'm saving for WiFi to post.
