Herbster, WI 7-24

This first picture was a couple hours before sunset.

Last night the bulk of the storm went past us. We did get a half inch of rain in an hour, and fortunately the winds didn’t get as bad as predicted. It was a beautiful show by Mother Nature. The sun glowed red through the clouds as it sank away over the horizon. The rain and wind made it hard to get a great picture. I took it through the window.

This morning we got up and it was 73 with 85% humidity, just a teeny bit damp. We walked around Herbster and then down a county road to a sawmill. Herbster seems to suffer an identity crisis, they are also known as the Town of Clover. There are a few little shops, a café, post office, fire dept., and a store/fuel station/laundry combination. They are suffering from drought here too. After our walk we did laundry at the Laundromat. It was very nice and was clean. We’ve been in some really BAD ones. It was $1.25 to wash and $.25 for 8 minutes on the dryer. Came home, put everything away and had breakfast.

The rest of the day we sat in the shade and enjoyed the cool breeze, the peace and quiet and read our books. We took walks along the beach and I now have a pile of Lake Superior rocks! For a huge lake there isn’t much activity on it. We saw a large barge heading west towards Duluth and a large sail boat, that’s about it. The sun has stayed out all day. We can see clouds north of here across the lake but they are staying up there today. I think we are going to move on tomorrow.


Thats our home in the middle, this was taken from the beach.

Here's a sad note, as we have traveled the country Larry will skim the crime blotters and in every state we have been in so far, meth-labs are the biggest problem.
