40 min north of Minneapolis lies the one great beach for dinner, and you can walk there from your plane!

Cool temps and blue skies tugged at me all day long, so after work, I headed north to the largest of America's Great Lakes, Superior!

Some Puffies on the trip up

Lake Ahoy!

Can I land on an Isthmus?

Fun Plane!

A motley crue

Great view for dinner.....

Panorama View!

Pictures don't show up for me, do I need permissions? Just show a circle and dash inside.

It changed to a question mark.

I love Minnesota in the summer. I checked out the area on Google Earth and I'll bet life on that isthmus gets really interesting in the winter!

Beautiful pictures. Thanks for sharing.

Can't see the pics either - but if that's Sky Harbor, I hope that you stayed out of the foliage that edges the beach - it is the most virulent form of poison oak/ivy/something in existence! Louise and I discovered it after visiting a few years back, and a year later, we still found clothing with molecules of the stuff embedded that caused a rash....

I always loved the rows of floats parked without airplanes on them in the fall.

Yep -Sky Harbor

No idea why the pics work for some and not others. Sorry about that.

Pete, I used to use Panoramafactory.com to do them. It was great - better than photoshop and you can control the perspective ans warp. I went to their site and they havent updated for quite some time but still offer a free trial period. I mostly use photoshop now and it does ok, but not as good as panoramafactory.

Magically, I was able to see the pictures later this morning. Nothing changed, except google decided I was worthy, I guess.

Great pics Pete, BTW!
