Mackinac Bridge. The entry to the upper peninsula.
Mackinac Island. The view from the top of the hill at the restaurant we had lunch at.
Fort Mackinac on the island at the top of the hill. Very interesting history. The soldiers trying to train the civilians in how to march correctly. It was very funny to watch.
Once you get up north far enough, the beaches are all pebbles. This requires water shoes, or I have been told old tennis shoes work just fine. I used my flip flops. They worked.
One last amazing picture of a well known rock on Mackinac Island. Yes, there is a place to climb this. Hoping to do that next time.
Coast Guard Cutter leaving the Soo Locks in Sault St. Marie.
Tributes to the Edmund Fitzgerald at White Fish Point in the Great Lakes Ship Wreck Museum. They were playing the song for a little while in the museum and even had a short movie that we watched about that horrible day in history. A sobering experience. So many years later and sadness of that tragedy can be still felt in that museum.
There are even more beautiful pictures of these falls in my collection of pictures. Tahquamenon Falls in the northern part of the upper peninsula. Canada is just on the other side of that peninsula. Pictures do not do it justice. Brad and I will be going back and staying at their campground.
