Doing another virtual tour: Minneapolis to St. Ignace, mi

I will be exploring part of what is a spur of the Northern Tier which stretches from Maine to Washington state.  When this pandemic is over riding in the Upper Peninsula  to add to the trace the Lower Peninsula.  Below is my route through Wisconsin.  I am not sure which is the Adventure Cycling Association route.  The route shown is based on Google maps for the bicycle. I decided to take the upper grey route since it was going through Rice Lake.

Very nice paths through Minneapolis and on to Stillwater. From there I got onto quiet roads.

Elevation does not look too bad, but I did hit some deep descents and steep climbs. It is much better when I say to myself, "I will walk when I need to."

I love when I find these preserved steel truss bridges. They can handle the foot and bike traffic. Going across them takes be back to olden days

Many years ago I worked at this camp and I was happy to see it again. The trees were taller and my hair is balding and gray.

From Camp Phillips I went south to Rice Lake, this was the biggest town near camp. I will add this sign to my collection.

There is great fall color in this area.

It is not hard to find a quiet road and some even have a good shoulder. Drivers have been kind.

There are some very nice places to stop and enjoy nature. Many lakes and streams in this area.

That wraps up my first four days.
