Pleasant Surprise in Cloquet


We called the Duluth/Cloquet KOA as soon as we got into cell coverage area, and they had a site we could have for one night.  So we moseyed on over the roughly 100 miles to get there.  It's a great campground.  It's small, and well-kept.  They have a pool (happy Ruth) and hot tub, and an ice cream social on weekend nights.  We pulled into our site and got set up.

Ruth used TripAdvisor to find a restaurant that was also featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives on the Food Network named Gordy's Hi Hat Drive-In.  It's a burger and fries and fried fish place.  We got there around 1:15 p.m. and the line was out the door and out under an awning.  Since we weren't sure where else to go, we stayed in the line, which actually moved pretty quickly.  Gordy, the owner, was at the counter taking orders.  We all got burgers and shared fries and onion rings.  We agreed that the burgers were really good.  We all liked the fries, but didn't like the onion rings.  The onion rings have a cornmeal breading that is pretty thick and not seasoned.  

After lunch, we headed back to the motorhome to relax.  I ran to Walmart since we were back in civilization to pick up some supplies.  Ruth went to the pool, but as she will probably report in an upcoming post, it was really cold so she couldn't stay in for long.

The burgers were delicious!

Ruth was pleased with her pick
