Well, finally safe from myself..........these vintage insulators are still in use all over this area, so I was not tempted to acquire them at antique stores. Leslie is still breathing sighs of relief. Aren't they beautiful, though!
Around every turn of the highway, we saw breath-taking highway vistas. It was hard to concentrate on Angry Birds with territory like this. 
At a highway truckstop...........................
And another cause for a conference, eh?
Rainbow Falls, and a lovely hike into the woods together.
We looked for Auntie Em and Uncle Henry but to no avail.
For my east coast family, who regularly frequent the convenience stores called WAWA......
Here's a town named Wawa, and the actual origin of the word.
So are those stores in NJ actually named after the Ojibway word for Wild Goose?
That's your trivia question for today.
And the wawa that overlooks Lake Superior from the visitor center above the 49th parallel................
This picture speaks for itself. The phone booth is intact, the phone works.
Sadly, the store was already closed for the evening.
Full on fall colors. We're spoiled even before we get to New England.
Our dinner spot, by our camper, on rabbit Blanket Lake.
And the lovely Leslie knitting by the fire at sunset. Another day of gratitude, fun, good food, breath-taking scenery and friendly folks.
Stay tuned for sunrise..................
