We took a day trip to Eureka. What a sweet little town. Lots of lakes here and there.

Eureka has a sweet little Historical Village. Further proof that almost every little burg, town, village, county in America has nice collections of their antiquities that they have saved, lovingly saved. More information can be found at this site, where they tell us, they have a "collection of local historic buildings and structures dating as far back as the late 1880s and early 1900s. The collection includes a school, church, library, general store, fire tower, railroad depot, caboose and several log cabins..."

And, almost back to Whitfish, the pink skies were just so soft and delightful.
