Michigan UP (Upper Peninsula)
Two nights ago we slept under just a sheet. When we got up at 6:45 in the morning the outside temperature was 80 degrees. Last night we used our electric blanket. This morning the temperature was 40 degrees. There are a number of families sleeping in tents in this campground. Been there, done that.
Today we drove along the north coast of the upper peninsula, much of it through Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. Much of the road is along or near the shore but even when not it is pretty, basically winding through caverns of dense forest. Very green and probably VERY colorful in the fall.
Formation called The Minors Castle. Note the clarity of the water.
We walked about two miles one way to see this restored lighthouse. Nicely restored and a good tour.
View from top of lighthouse.
Top of an area called The Log Slide. From the spot at the edge of the sand in the center of the picture the dune drops about 400 feet @ 75-80% grade. Some people (chiefly adolescent and early twenty males) get a thrill jumping/rolling down it. There was an actual log chute in this location years ago. Blue dot in center of picture is man about halfway down slide.
Feet in Lake Superior again. South shore this time.
