We left Hanlontown, IA at 5 am and headed north, and hit the Minnesota State Line at 5:18 am. Continuing north near Wyoming, MN, at about mile marker 138 on I 35 East we noticed a state patrolman with his lights flashing in the south bound lane. Someone had hit a large black bear. Our first bear and we were only 150 miles from home.
We went through Duluth and towards Two Harbors to see some of Lake Superior. There was a lot of road construction in and around Duluth.
We pulled into Ely, MN at 11:30 am. Only six and a half hours.
We did a quick drive around town and went out to check out Fall Lake Camp ground. Saw our spot was reserved, but could not check in until after 3 pm.
Went back into Ely and went to the International Wolf Center and did a walk through of the exhibits. All of a sudden we heard the wolves start howling and went to check it out. We had at least three wolves gave us a good show.
After we left the wolf center we headed back to Piragis Outfitters to check in and settle up on our outstanding balance. We watched the BWCA Leave No Trace video and picked up our entry permit.
A quick trip to the Subway for a sandwich and we were back out to Fall Lake Campground to set up our first camp.

Latter on it was back into Ely once more for a little Italian supper, and then to Zup’s grocery to get Ethan some rolls for breakfast.
Did a little fishing from around the shore of our camp site with no luck.
Pretty sun set this night.
