On Wednesday, October 18, we left for Ely at 9:30AM.
We walked down a muddy hill and visited Lake Superior.
We had lunch at the Nokomis Bar and Restaurant.
We finally arrived in Ely after 4:00PM and got a room at the Paddle Inn.
The weather was near freezing and there was a rain/snow combination.
After visiting several shops in town we ate at the Grand Ely Lodge.

On Thursday we went to the Dorthy Molter (AKA "Rootbeer Lady") museum. It was closed but we walked around Dorothy's cabins.

We went to the International Wolf Center when it opened at 10:00AM. The wolves were visible and we stayed for about 2 1/2 hours.

We ate at a cafe in Virginia and visited a Finnish store.

We ended up in Garrison, MN, near Lake Mille Lacs and stayed at the Garrison Inn.

On Friday after a moring walk (in the light snow) along Lake Mille Lacs, we left and visited the Unclaimed Freight Store in Milaca.

We stopped in Princeton for gas and lunch and arrived home in the afternoon.
