Slow out of town again, you see the pattern? There always seems to be a coffee shop or bakery with a strong gravitational pull that I have to pass before leaving town.
Besides leaving behind the magic of Marquette, I was also leaving behind the, not so subtle, beauty of Lake Superior later today.
Back home when I was planning the route for this trip, I came across a place on Google maps labeled Lakenenland. I remember thinking it would be a cool place to see and it was right on my route. It had dropped off my radar until I saw a sign for it and rode in. It was pretty cool. It is an outdoor sculpture park. I think one guy did most of the sculptures. Obviously he is a talented welder.
It wasn’t too much longer and my route peeled away from the Lake Superior shoreline, sad to see her go.
Soon I road into Hiawatha national Forest. It was quite beautiful. Eventually I settled on staying at Petes Lake Campground, it was a national Forest Campground with a very kind campground host. 
Slow and Steady
