I don't have photos but I remember taking a trip a long time ago with one of the groups I was part of growing up. It was a beach where you can see the city lights of Duluth across lake superior, and we slept open air and there was a meteor shower that night. Trying to search for Duluth viewing just gets me Duluth searches and nearby parks, but I have no idea where we were but I'd love to go back.
