That's because it is. I remember a billboard on I-494 in Minneapolis, with a photo from the shore overlooking Lake Superior, and the caption "Fire Your Therapist."
You haven't lived till you've been on the shore of Superior with a bad storm blowing in huge waves. Absolutely mesmerising.
You are correct. One year ago today, we had the opportunity to travel up there to see all the lakes. It was fantastic! Loved the little towns, too. Other than the state of Maine, this was the only part of the country I’d never seen and there’s nothing else like it!
