After the river ride we headed north-east, touring along the edge of Lake Superior heading into Bayfield, kicking off point to the Apostle Islands.
At the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore Visitors Center, our only National Park Service opportunity to buy the Ten Dollar Senior Life Time Pass any time near my birthday. I’ve been looking forward to my 62nd birthday for this Exact reason.
It is a few days early but the Ranger here was sympathetic and understanding and kind and sold me the thing anyway.
