Take a trip around Lake Superior, the greatest of the Great Lakes.
Reading the 2021 Lake Superior Travel Guide brought back fond memories of a motorcycle trip my friend Bob and I took back in 2011 (yes, that long ago – how time flies). We departed Eureka, MO early morning on September 9, riding our motorcycles, me on my trusty FJR1300 and Bob on his trusty ST1300.
