A view of Lake Superior from Shovel Point Trail.
The North Shore of Lake Superior is such a wonderful resource for the State of Minnesota! I spent Friday, August 10, 2012 with family members taking in some of the sights and sounds in Duluth and points further north. The weather could not have been nicer – such a delightful way to enjoy time with the family while relaxing on a mid-summer day.
Our trip began with breakfast at the ever-popular Tobie’s in Hinckley. Then we journeyed to Duluth and the harbor area where one can saunter along the Lakewalk and watch the lift bridge go up to allow a boat to pass beneath and into the harbor.
This small boat swiftly entered the harbor after the lift bridge was raised to allow its entry.
George Washington’s image on Mt. Rushmore was dedicated in 1934.
It is hard to picture Mt. Rushmore with only one face carved on the mountain, but indeed George Washington did have that honor for a couple of years with his solo image providing excitement for residents and visitors in the Black Hills area.
It is great fun to come across something a bit more unusual when going through collectibles. As part of my genealogy hobby I’ve been re-reading old postcards and letters to find information about some of our family’s ancestors.
This early postcard of Mt. Rushmore showing the face of George Washington being carved by Gutzon Borglum was sent to my mother-in-law by one of her relatives. I can’t see that a stamp was ever affixed, nor is there a postmark. Quite possibly the card was enclosed in an envelope and then mailed.
