Heading Down Lake 001

With the downturn in the economy we haven’t seen as many ore boats on Lake Superior for most of the summer. This month has been different. Orders have come in and the mines have started again. Now ore boats are heading down lake almost every day with tons of iron ore ready to be made into cars and refrigerators.

Heading Down Lake 002

This thousand foot ore boat left Duluth early on Wednesday morning. Karla and I watched it heading out of the harbor silhouetted against the early morning sunrise.
