10-15 August 2023 Good time in Duluth

 Well, the rainy weather caught up with us. We took the opportunity to catch up on some planning, to go to David’s favorite clothing store (Duluth Trading) to replace some worn out cloths, caught the Oppenheimer Movie, and dined harbor side in Duluth. We got the front brakes on the Behemoth replaced (including new rotors) along with an oil change. They informed us the engine and cabin air filters were full of dust (wonder where that came from??), so we got those replaced as well. David spent one after noon getting the Behemoth washed clean of all the dead bugs and red clay from Wyoming. He also worked on a small water leak in a window next to the couch that we discovered with the heavy rain. It was a busy and expensive stay in Duluth, but we had a great time. This is a pretty area, but we would not want to be here in the winter! We tried to go wine tasting on Sunday, but the only winery in Duluth was closed when we got there. There were no others for over 60 miles, which was a surprise given the size of Duluth. So we then headed over to a DDD restaurant south of Downtown only to discover it had also closed for the day! Our nephew surprised us when he informed us that they were moving their marriage up to the end of September from the end of December. So, we scrambled to rearrange our early fall itinerary so we could be in Dayton for the wedding. This included some maintenance work we were getting done at the factory before the Ambassadors Days and open house. But New Horizons was really nice and worked with us to get it rearranged. We will have to do a partial power drive from Dayton to Junction City, but we were able to arrange a rest day in between the long 360 mile days.
