Three more things I found in Jay Cooke State Park


A section of the Superior Hiking Trail


A sign by the swinging bridge


An unusual appearing plant by the employee garage

The swinging suspension bridge spanning the fast and powerful St. Louis River


I just followed the signs to the bridge


It took some planning and legwork to get this image


What a beautiful bridge that has been rebuilt several times in the past one hundred years


On the bridge, looking south


Only the brave and experienced white water kayak on those swift waters

What I found in Cooke State Park


An official state park anthill


Our parked bus that took us to the park


There are many educational and fun activities that take place in this park


The park’s public meeting room, interpretive displays, bathrooms, and vending machines.

My Rainbow Center ice cream sundae on Monday


     As someone who is ecologically minded, I bring my own banana split bowl that I bought at a nearby Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites Duluth surplus sale.

     However, as only five ice cream treats were bought today, there will be no ice cream served at the Rainbow Center until spring of 2017!

First Presbyterian Church of Duluth


The parking lot where block party was held


A welcoming sign


Who’s your hero?
