Lake Superior 1K

[Ole]

My last day at The Soo I jumped back on the bike for about 200 miles. I took the back way to Paradise. Stopped at every tourist attraction I could find. There was an old light house that the forest service has maintained kinda as a museum. Near Brimley.





of course I had to climb to the top







No lens at the top it is in the Smithsonian the volunteer said
North of Paradise is Whitefish Point. It has a wonderful shipwreck museum. Well worth the 13$ to get in. They have the bell from the Mighty Fitzgerald that went down just off the point. The one in the famous song.





Lighthouse lens







This is the exact suit the diver was wearing to get the bell


Lots of cool old stuff at that museum. I spent two hours there they had a 20 minute movie in a tiny theater of the dive to get the bell.










Then had the second best burger in all of Michigan. West Pier Drive-In under the RR bridge just west of the Soo Locks.
They serve it on a coffee filter



7.25$ worth of vein filling horsepower



I wasnt sure I was going to get it all down. The staff was rooting me on,,,,



but I got er done couldn't finish the fries tho


The CB1100 performed perfect on the big ride. I have highway pegs and a saddleman gel pad under an Alaska leather sheepskin. Stock seat. No butt burn at all. It was great fun and I hope you guys enjoyed the ride with me.
