Hwy 51 Wisconsin Day 6

Greetings fellow travelers!
We are here. We have made it. We're writing to you from Hurley, the northern terminus of Hwy 51. We are definately here in the northland...lots of tall trees, lots of lakes, small towns, and some interesting curiosities. We won't bore you today with pictures of beautiful scenery, but will entertain you with some of the oddities and curiosities we saw along the way today.
Here is the world's largest penny in Woodruff.

The world's tallest Indian in Ironwood, MI.(That little guy by Hiawatha's feet is Denis).

Claire de Loon, the world's third largest loon in Mercer.

And last, but not least...what do you to with your old snowmobile? Scrap it, sell it, you say...not in the northland....you put in on a pole and stick it in your front yard next to the motorhome and riding lawn mowers you have for sale.

Tomorrow we plan to visit Ashland and take a look at Lake Superior. Then we will head east to Iron Mountain, MI where we will visit Denis' brother and family. See you then.
------Susan and Denis
