Saturday, July 06, 2019 With just about 3.5 hours to get to Ely we had plenty of time to make some stops along the way. The first was at Hensons Country foods in Minong for some jerky. Even though it was a good deal we didnt think we needed the 10lb bag of beef jerky   We did get a 1 pound bag that was around $8 which is still a good deal and also some Jack Links breakfast sausages which I had not seen before and were really good. Along the way we made stops at Bettys Pies and a few spots along the north shore.  We made it to Ely in time to stop at the International Wolf center, which I thought was pretty disappointing and we only spent about 15 minutes there. Checked in the Motel Ely then walked around town a bit and ate at the Boathouse Brewpub, decent food and beer but nothing special really. Back to the motel and early to bed so we can get an early start for the wilderness Sunday morning.
