Diodon Shipmates;
 
Swede is already figuring out how to get to Duluth from his home port in Ohio. Let me suggest the following for your planning purposes:
 
For those who wish to fly to Duluth, the options are the following:
 
1) American has three non-stops from Chicago to Duluth
 
2) Northwest has about 6 non-stops from Minneapolis / St. Paul. If you fly into Minneapolis on Northwest the continuation fee is reasonable. If you fly into Minneapolis on another carrier, it may be more cost effective to rent a car in the Twin Cities and drive the 150 miles north to Duluth on I-35.
 
3) If your driving, and it takes you thru the Chicago area, head for Eau Claire, Wisconsin on I-94. At Eau Claire take US 53 about 150 miles north to Duluth. It is divided four lane all the way.
 
4) If you are driving in from the West or south of the Twin Cities, seek out I-35 which comes north from Dallas/Fort Worth, goes through Oklahoma, Missouri, Des Moines, the Twin Cities, and terminates in Duluth.
 
I should have been a QM. Wishing you good navigating.
