You had me worried that I was misspelling the name. Turns out I was correct, it's Duluth. No big but if you go you wouldn't want locals to see you misspell it.
I went again to do some Google earth touring. I do not only the photos but also the street view thing. Pretty wild, you can do a virtual drive down a street. It's an interesting look at a town. I'll never make it to a lot of these places so just seeing the architecture and the flavor of the streets all leading down to the lake is interesting. Saw pics of some grand old buildings in Duluth. At one point I maneuvered out onto the middle of a bridge on Lake St. You can turn to see the 360 view. Wild stuff, looking out to 'sea' on Lake Superior. That is a tough looking shoreline. Not sand but large boulders. What I saw anyway.
The only Great Lake I've experienced is Lake Ontario, I was visiting a friend in the small college town of Oswego, NY on the shore. Pretty impressive, I was so naive I didn't realize that you can't see the other side. Maybe if there was a Mt. Rainier sized peak near the opposite shore you could. This was Sept., so the water was not bad for swimming surprisingly. Might be little colder in Superior near Duluth however.
