North Countries

  The first day we were there rain was expected so we decided to drive to a place that was too far to bike to.  What could be wrong with a place called Misery Bay?  Well, the highway was torn up for about 10 miles, and it started pouring just as we got there, mosquitos descended on us when we got out of the car, the visitors center wasn't open and there was no assurance it would later, and the trail was covered with six inches of water, but really, I don't think the name applied at all.
  We took a trail through the woods to get to Lake Huron.  By the time we got to the shore the rain had stopped.  We came out onto this cool, pockmarked bedrock.  We had no idea how it formed.  Fortunately, the visitors center opened by the time we finished our hike and we got this hypothesis for an explanation:
Different interesting bedrock marked up by glaciers.
On the way home we stopped at another attraction that we wanted to see but would probably be too far to bike to: Bridal Veil Falls.  It was a good place for a swim, and for some serious exfoliation when standing under the falls.
