We had a wonderful breakfast there but thought 9:30 am was too early for pie. Other patrons were having pie for breakfast though.

We had a suite at Superior Shores, Two Harbors, MN.I loved it-gas fireplace-huge windows-jacuzzi, fully equiped kitchen-two couches-two tv's. These inscribed rocks on the far side of a little foot bridge have been left over the years to commemorate weddings, pets or just a good time.

I remember a time before this tunnel existed. Highway 61 used to wrap around Silver Creek Cliff and there was a rather treacherous drop off. Apparently it was a safety issue, because they blasted right through the cliff and built this tunnel.
