Thanks for posting that John.  On my list.   Forgive my ignorance since I’ve never been up there.  Seems like Canada is pretty close.   What else is worth seeing in this vicinity?

Y'all host a great rally. On one of my rides to your rally I went up thru Michigan, over the Mackinaw bridge and around Lake Superior.

Enjoy,
Tex

It's a beautiful venue for a rally and the area riding is simply superb!

The mandatory stop at Aerostitch in Duluth, it's not an impressive showroom but it's intimate and to the point!   https://www.aerostich.com
Here's a listing to take you up the shore.....  https://northshorevisitor.com/attractions/mile-by-mile/

Don't forget all the views the Mississippi river has to offer going or coming or both ways!!!   https://www.travelstride.com/attractions/things-to-do-in-mississippi-river-attractions

We have yearly participants from Kansas, Wyoming, North Carolina & Colorado to name a few.  It's still cool on this end of the country so many are escaping the heat back home.

Going into Canada the Lake Superior Circle Tour is very popular.     https://lakesuperiorcircletour.info/

It's on my Riding Schedule again this year, my pre-registration form will be mailed soon.  This will be my fifth, maybe sixth, time to Grand Marais.  Always have fun, it's just a good event to attend.  I enjoy an early breakfast at the "South of the Border Cafe" plus the herring sandwich Saturday evening. 

Ride safe, see you there.

using the word mountain might be a bit of a stretch.. lots of waterfalls along the No shore.

John, 

I'm leaving home on Wednesday early and expect to arrive in Grand Marais on Thursday afternoon.  I sent my pre-registration check earlier.  The weather forecast says the highs will be in the 60s, the lows in the 50s...about normal for this time of year.  I'm looking forward to seeing everyone again.

Ride safe out there.

Fotoguzzi alerted me to a new Guzzi dealer along Hwy 35 just south of Forest Lake off Exist 129, go west past the roundabout.

Only took a decade of rally hospitality to get me on a Guzzi, but you finally got me.

We would snowmobile there every winter every winter for years.  The 13 hour drive from Buffalo was totally worth the week we would spend.

Who says no one buys motorcycles when snowmobiles are being tuned up!

From PHX you are only 27 hrs away.  I’m practicing that drive this weekend.
