It truly is God's country up there. I have many great memories of your fair county. I recall one particular stiff nor'easter that catapulted the pole vault cloud clear across Hwy 61. Never seen nothing like it. Отношения, Sergei Bubka

Seen the young footballers up in your area one time,the play looked like an inside handoff that got the running back with thicker black cheaters on his face confused, a muffled voice was heard coming out of an earhole of the QB after the play, must have been one of those modern Riddell helmets.

Enjoyed my time in Two Harbors during my visit many years ago. Witnessed a B-Team football game and saw the funniest thing – the game was delayed because the long snapper wasn’t sporting the correct attire. The handsome coach made him take off his fancy white shoes in exchange for some worn out black canvas footwear. Didn’t seem right, the center looked like a fine young man. Signed, Kirk Lowdermilk

Stumbled upon a large rusty contraption near some blocking sleds behind the Arena many years ago. Some young folks explained that the thing was called a Blaster and the local football team used it for training. Tried my luck at the drill, but the mammoth spring-loaded unit backfired and sent me airborne. By the time I landed I was halfway to Hoyt Lakes. Signed, Gary Cuozzo

Our family, for over twenty years, made certain that part of our vacation would be spent on the great North Shore of Minnesota. We would camp out at the Wagon Wheel Campground just south of Two Harbors, MN, right on the shore of Lake Superior. It was a place of relaxation and refuge for us. Every year we would try to set up camp at the same site or close to it. We had some wonderful family times. Our children are now grown up and have since gotten lives of their own. We miss those times together, but we have and will continue to have many happy memories of special days at a special place.

Brought my sunscreen up during my visit up there last year. Didn't need it as it was 50 degrees during our entire stay. Shot 18 holes of golf at the local course, but lost several balls in the dense fog. The only highlight of the trip was going to a small bar in Brimson and watching a bunch of guys pile out of an older model RV and head into the bar. They sure had fun, especially the guy in the USPS hat. Signed, Jan Stenerud

Sang karaoke with my (612) pals at the Knotty Pine near Isabella, just to show them a good home-grown time. Best frozen pizza between Ely and Illgen City. Would have had a snit, but the K.P. is a set-up joint. Gotta bring your own, I guess. Come visit us at Sand Lake sometime.

Once in the late 70's I stopped at an old green building by the Two Harbors football field to get directions. There was some sort of dance going on inside, and a heavy set lad with a sweet soprano voice calling for Earl outside. A nice older boy named Trent told me how to get where I was going. Thank You, John Brodie.

All this talk about Hugo's reminds me of an evening I was there many years ago.

Stopped up your way one time, as someone told me the Brimson Tide football team played up there. Never did find the field, but I enjoyed having a few snits at a local tavern and watching a group of rowdy men drive by on a tractor. One was wearing a nifty cowboy hat and rubber boots.

I recently took a nature walk through beautiful Skunk woods. Not long after I started in, I became winded and sat next to a large rock not far off the path. Found an old empty mayonaise jar with the word "firewater" on the label. I sat and pondered for a while and wondered if I'd stumbled on some old native american holy ground. Regards, Mark Olberding.

A few years back I decided to brave the cool, rapid waters of the Cloquet River all alone in my canoe. I came upon the most beautiful white pine I had ever seen. She stood tall and straight, right on the banks of the old Cloquet. She was no less than 250 years old. Ahh, the stories she could tell….. But in an instant my feeling of awe turned into disbelief, as I witnessed an older aluminum boat travelling out of control into a fallen branch over the river. A gentleman in a purple tee-shirt was motioning for a handsome younger fellow to slow down as the twosome crashed directly into the branch. Farther upstream, I saw three skinny lads in another boat laughing at the misfortunes of the two sorry travelers. I found it rather odd, but to this day, I believe the old white pine is still piecing together her words to another amusing story that she will be able to narrate to her listeners long after the day she finally falls…..

Once toured a wooded area near Indian Lake in hopes of constructing a new executive golf course. On the drive in, we confronted an old man in a weathered brown jacket who was apparently trying to find his dentures in the mud. A little later down the road, an older model RV nearly ran us off the road. The driver was yelling something about an incompetent co-pilot.

After stringing a hammock between two stately pines, I settled down for an afternoon of reading my favorite periodical at the Indian Lake campground, a page into my book I hear cans opening and some hefty fella teaching his daughters the words to Jim Croce's "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown", that catterwalling was enough for me, I crawled in the Chevy Vega and headed home....Chris Shenkel

How's the fishing at Greenwood Lake? I haven't been there for years. One year, in the early morning, the fish were biting like crazy over by Rocky Shores. Then several tentloads of young men awoke, started making bloody marys and listening to loud country and western music. They scared us and the fish away, and didn't even invite us to shore for a snit. Signed, Dennis Hextall

Many years ago we stopped at Flood Bay to take in the beautiful scenery. We walked up the beach, and noticed a couple of young men attempting to grill steaks on a small grill. They were having one heck of a time getting the briquettes to stay lit. As we got closer, I noticed the heavier one of the two was drinking Miller shorties and singing. The other fellow was also drinking beer, but he appeared to be doing all the work. The big singer wasn't half bad. I wonder if those guys ever got the grill going? The cuts of steak looked tremendous. Sincerely, Bob Berry

I was near Two Harbors once and noticed a pizza place on the Scenic Route. I believe it was called the Sidetrack. I went inside to get a beverage, and there were many youths playing pinball and eating cheese balls. A band was playing up front, and a nice gentleman with sideburns and big forearms was cooking pizzas. I was only there for about 25 minutes, but it certainly looked like everyone was having a good time. Thanks for the great website, Mel Renfro

I once stopped at the VFW in Two Harbors while passing through town. Before I even had a chance to sit down, a nice lady asked me to take my cowboy hat off. I bought a couple of beers, some pulltabs, and played that table top bowling arcade game in the corner. I watched the local news, all the patrons got excited when a short guy with an afro gave the weather forecast. They were chanting "Heatwave" or something like that. Nice town. Thank you for the great memory. Signed, Walt Garrison

What is going on at the campground??? For the last three weeks I have read letters from campers that normally stay at the campground all summer or for extended periods and are they upset. They are referring to unfair treatment by lack of notification regarding rate increases and other items that I am not aware of. Do we really want to have all these people mad at Two Harbors when they spend thousands of dollars in our "destination" area every summer. I think not. Hope someone can look into this problem and come up with a feasible solution.

I once canoed the Cloquet River by myself from Indian Lake. Even though the river was down, I still had to duck at the railroad bridge. Just past the bridge I discovered a small lake, later I found it on a map that it was named Papoose Lake. At first glance, this appeared to be a pristine place -- and for a moment I was in awe. Suddenly, a boat load of young men could be seen and heard off in the distance in a small fishing boat. I heard them singing songs and carrying on. I continued on my way down the river. A fine journey it was. Randy Bruer

I noticed the entry that talked about Hugo's. I also found my way there, it certainly is a friendly place. The jukebox had an outstanding collection of country hits. I hope it hasn't changed! C. Foreman

I brought the family up that way many years ago and stayed at Gooseberry Falls, we had a fantastic time, the grounds were kept up so nice and the grass was cut to perfection , Kudos to that fella!Jim Northrup

08-24-2000, 22:47:22
I once stayed at Indian Lake Campground up in your neck of the woods.... It was okay, but I must say, that there was a large fella next to us in his Winnebago who kept us awake all night long, he was singing "Da Doo Ron Ron Ron" or something like that. Still.... we had a good time. Jackie Wallace

08-22-2000, 12:31:49
I always enjoy my travels to your area. One year, we went north on Highway #2 and stopped at a lake called Greenwood for some afternoon fishing. We caught a few walleye after running into many rocks, then started back for Two Harbors. Somehow we ended up taking a wrong turn and found ourselves at a bar named Hugo's. The people there were friendly so we had a pizza and a few 3.2 beers, then got directions on how to get back to Two Harbors from an old man in a weathered brown jacket. We ended up back in Two Harbors just in time to see a beautiful full moon rise over the big lake. What a journey it was! Thank You, Sammy White

My family enjoyed the pizza train from Duluth immensely, we came to TH and stood around looking at each for some time and then got back on the train, can't beat fun! Kent Tekulve

08-18-2000, 10:09:28
Love stopping at The Landing when driving through TH. The karoke nights are top knotch. I hear I look somewhat like an ex-gym teacher that goes by the name of Big Jim. Never met the guy, but he must be a handsome devil. Regards. Boog Powell.

A fantastic memory for me was when we stayed at Walt's cabins in Knife River and had a bon fire on the beach, we used to sing old sharecropper's songs, man, I can still see the moonlight, Thanks, B.B. King

08-03-2000, 07:49:08
We all loved heading up north years ago for the smelt season. I recall many good times up there, although on one occasion a large Coleman cooler of mine (packed with malt liquor) was stolen. Do the smelt still run? Thanks, Ron Yary

08-01-2000, 07:35:06
I was in your area last weekend and ran into Two Harbors' greatest all-time marathoner...Grover Melander. He considers his humiliating defeat of the Skipper in the '92 Grandma's marathon as his greatest achievement. Regards, Gary Bjorklund

I recall passing through your area in the summer of '79. There were many young boys out in front of a faded green log building by the football field in Two Harbors. They kept calling an older boy Scout. A charming town. I hope to be back some day soon. Dave Roller

After having been away 55 years, I find that the old north shore looks right good. Don't let the houses replace too many trees.

When I was a little kid, during the late 1930"s and early 1940's, my hayfever-suffering family and others spent Septembers camped in what is now a city park along the lake side of 1st street. Down the hill in the woods on the west side of that street was a log building containing a couple of old cookstoves and a few picnic tables where we and the other campers had fishfries. The building is gone, but over in the park, a couple of old cement grills and a rusty old electric outlet on a tree remain of our campground. We showed up about 50 years before Two Harbors was ready for tourists. Keith Nichols, Dallas

That "crown" helped the Northshore Boys win many a football game back in the 70's. Maybe it should be brought back to try to reverse the losing tradition that has gone on for the last 20 years.

05-06-2000, 06:20:55
Do the smelt still run on the North Shore, do the city slickers still act obnoxious, has anyone fixed the terrible crown on the TH football field?

My brother & I moved to Texas and I haven't been back very often, but I will be bringing my husband and two children up to visit this summer so that they can explore and have as much fun and we did.
