Another rainbow.
Upon my first view of these falls, I thought of root beer.
This just makes me want to make a root beer float!

Gooseberry Falls is the gateway to the North Shore.
It is known for its spectacular waterfalls,
river gorge, Lake Superior shoreline, Civilian Conservation Corps log
and stone structures, and north woods wildlife.
History
As many as 200 young men lived here at a time as they built the park.
They were unmarried from 18-24 years old.
1934-1941
This calls for a root beer recipe.

The area known as Gooseberry Falls State Park
is intricately tied to human use of Lake Superior.
At different times, the Cree, the Dakotah, and the Ojibwe lived along the North Shore.
As early as 1670, the Gooseberry River appeared on explorer maps.
The river was either named after French explorer Sieur des Groseilliers
or after the Anishinabe Indian name “Shab-on-im-i-kan-i-sibi,”
both, when translated, refer to gooseberries.
They were unmarried from 18-24 years old.
1934-1941

Our next stop is Duluth.
P.S.
My grandsons and I made the Root Beer Pie when they came for a weekend visit
a few weeks after my visit to Gooseberry Falls.
It was a welcome treat on a very hot July weekend.
We had been having some of the hottest temperatures of the summer
ranging in the 90's with a heat index of over 100 some days.
Here are the photos.
