I toyed with the idea of taking the bike over, it's been years since my old Honda 750 made the trip.<br /><br />That Herbster campground is a great place to enjoy the lake.Coop a.k.a.

We stayed on Madeline but spent some time in Herbster. I remember saying "we should camp here some time." Maybe next year. Loved hearing about the family connection to the area.

No reservations accepted or needed from what I've seen. Popular on the weekends....in 'nicer' weather. As you can imagine, with a cold front coming through from the NW and rain, a bit more shelter would be welcome. The nearby pavilion made a great place to eat and organize, the tent-site sleep and fire-sit, efficiently reducing transporting everything. Unless the weather is really bad, I'll do this again, possibly even in '15.Coop a.k.a.

On my little trip around Superior I stopped off en route on Manitoulin Island (supposedly known for it's sunsets.) I waited hours and didn't get a single photo as lovely as your Superior south shore pictures. Apparently Superior is the lake to visit for sunsets not Huron. Sorry can't choose a fav. The sand looks a little less than favorable for cruisers. Will have to stick to pavement. Camping on the shore, that's worth a bit of a walk. How busy do they get in the summer months - reservations required? Already, next summer is forming in my head.VStar Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13634216576989421497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6972915028116604677.post-36433457977075947522015-09-17T19:35:02.924-05:002015-09-17T19:35:02.924-05:00It wasn't much different than that Sonja.

It's interesting up there, the difference between the Bayfield County Forest and the Chequamegon National Forest....names vs numbers to identify the roads. There's no way the OEM tires on the TW could have done what these more aggressive tires on the KLR did. I remember well what a struggle it was back then.Coop a.k.a.
