As we are passing through the Duluth area this week we decided that it would be fun to stop by two of our favorite outdoor stores \u2013 Duluth Trading Company and Duluth Pack. Both of these stores are located in the heart of Duluth in their downtown shopping district\u2026 not a place for travel trailers. To do this we needed to find a place close by where we could leave the trailer while we enjoyed a night on the town. The best bet seemed to be a KOA located in the outskirts of Duluth.<\/p>\n

The KOA was all of the things that are parodied in movies like RV and Vacation. Trailers stacked practically on top of one another, high fees, annoying neighbors, and basically a tour of redneck American behavior (not the fun kind). We have memberships to both KOA and Good Sam from various purchases over the past few months, but I think we\u2019re going to avoid them as much as possible. Kelly and I both decided that the $15 \/ night pit toilet campgrounds were more to our liking and our style of camping.<\/p>\n

Our evening in Duluth was very nice. We were both very pleasantly surprised by Duluth in general. It was a very clean city in a beautiful setting; Hell, even the industry in Duluth was more attractive than most cities we\u2019ve been to. (see the picture above of the highway through Duluth \u2013 Even the overpasses are wooded!) Their downtown tourist area was lovely and we managed to scrounge up a pretty fantastic dinner at the Canal Park Brewing Co.<\/p>\n

Side Note:<\/strong> We tried sourcing out Ranger\u2019s dog food in Duluth. Ranger has steadfastly refused to eat regular dog food since we stopped the puppy food. We had hoped he would outgrow his picky tastes, but at Ann\u2019s house we gave him the opportunity to try Bella\u2019s food and he turned his nose up at it. After 3 different stores in Duluth we decided that we were likely not going to find the food he\u2019s been eating for the past year plus. As of this writing (Tues 7\/31) he is eating a combination of Iams and the remainder of his regular food with a raw egg on top. We\u2019ll see how this goes <cringe>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
