I finally got around to riding my bike on the Mesabi Trail. My first effort was to ride from Marble to Pengilly a round trip of 14 miles. This section includes what I call Mexican Hill (Juan Helluva Hill). Other than the hill the ride was very pleasant with an abundance of wild flowers.

Yesterday we drove to Duluth for an appointment at the Honda dealer for an oil & lube and to resolve an issue with the check engine light. After installing a new fuel/air sensor for $500 we were on our way. Nine tall ships were arriving in Duluth so we decided to check them out. Canal Park was already crowded at 10:00 AM so we headed up the North Shore where we managed to see a couple tall ships at a distance.

Our second clever strategy was to have lunch at Fitgers Brewery and wait for the ships to get closer.

Lunch was over and the ships were no closer. The parking meter wouldn't allow me to add coins so we went home. We stopped at sister Kathy and Buck's to check out the Model A Ford he is restoring.
After dinner we went for another pontoon ride and dip in the lake arriving back at the dock in time for yet another sunset shot.
