Despite the sign, we got back into the States at Sault Sainte Marie in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
Even though we left Ontario behind, we found the
Paradise Motel Fred sang about.
Gail found her ship.
We stayed in Munising for a night so we could explore the Grand Island National Recreation Area. We were glad we abandoned our idea to ride our bikes around the island as the trails and roads were soft and sandy. As it was, we did about a 13-mile hike and got to see plenty of shoreline and the interior.
I held Jupiter in my hand.
We did the History Loop which included the cemetery where the original European settlers and their descendants are buried. There was one Catholic that married into the family and she was fenced off from the rest.
Long ago, Gail and I visited the UP with her siblings to scatter their dad's ashes in Lake Superior. On that trip we also visited Pictured Rocks National Seashore. We could see part of Pictured Rocks from Grand Island.
The shoreline of Grand Island was quite picturesque too.
Trout Bay.
The water was almost warm.
