Since life interrupted our trip out west, a day trip up north would have to suffice.......
No problem! Pack a lunch, jump in the plane, and make the 106 nm and 42 min hop to Duluth Sky Harbor airport. Once there, just park the plane, walk out the gate, cross over the dunes and you are on the beach of Lake Superior!
It was sunny, 60 and light winds in Minne today, but we were ready for May 31st Duluth-style. Winter coats, caps, and gloves were in order for the 45 deg temps and "gulp", 15-18kt winds at 90 degrees to the runway. Heck, let's give it a try!
The trip up was cool and smooth - there may have been some sleeping....but soon the big lake was in view....
This is the aerial of where we ended up on our hike.....
Final for 32, yup that feels like 15-18 kts at 90 degrees, focus, Pete, focus!
As usual, the -9A made me look good and soon we were roaming the beach!
It was as cold as it looked, Andi is a real trooper.......
The trails thru the woods were pretty and out of the wind, but if you see a character like this, I'd run......
We have no idea what caused this - any thoughts?
More pics in Part 2!
