Harbor, from lighthouse
The lighthouse in Two Harbors is part of a set of museums operated by the county historical society; you can pay ten bucks a person and get to see all of them. That seemed like a pretty good deal so we went for it. The nice lady at the cash register had some sort of technical problem, resulting in our museum passes costing -$50,000. Sadly, she fixed the error before we got the 50K.
But anyway, we were in, and climbed up inside the lighthouse as far as permitted, which gave us a porthole-shaped view of the harbor.
And then, on our way out the nice lady at the cash register asked if we’d seen the ships – one leaving the port and the other coming in. It was, she said, the first time in 36 years she’d seen such a sight. Two ships! At once! How lucky for us!
Later the Patient Spouse said he thought that seeing two ships was surely a common thing, citing her first attempt at figuring out the entrance fee as a reason to doubt her veracity. I guess I see his point.

Another sort of graveyard
Intrepid woodlands explorer that I am, I was easily able to spot the dead Adirondack that the murderer had attempted to hide.
Nice try, murderer.

I like what they’ve done here
The GPS failed to tell us that the street (and sidewalks) we were looking for was completely torn up. But it didn’t matter, I guess, since we noticed that all on our own.
The store employee told me the work should be done in “about a month” but I was polite enough to not laugh.

One of the last days
Of course, I don’t have any way to know this for sure, but I feel like this almost-end-of-September day was about the end of the summer boating season.

Barrel Woman Eats Lunch
What can I say? I was on vacation and just went crazy. Crazy! Look at what I did?! I took a photo of this woman, just because I could. And also because it looked like she was sitting in that barrel to eat lunch.
Or maybe she actually was in the barrel – maybe that’s one of those regionally-specific things people do in that part of the country.
