Shortly after leaving Munising, we stopped at a roadside park along the edge of Lake Superior. Due to a wind blowing from the northwest, waves about 2-3 feet were rolling in and gave the lake a look similar to an ocean beach (Photo one). The sand in this area is very fine.
The lake’s pounding waves continually wear away the rocks. With this comes many different shapes and figures, each offered up to your imagination. In 1962 the lake carved out a face in a rock at this roadside park. It lasted until about 1998 before it was destroyed by the waves. Photo two was taken just a few feet from the face location. What do you think this rock looks like?
We are starting to see some fall color (photo three). This photo was taken at Lake Ruth, which is part of a group of three inland lakes. There are over 11,000 lakes in Michigan.
Photo four is of Houghton, MI, home of Michigan Technological University. Houghton is the gateway to the Keweenaw Peninsula.
And our sign of the day stands at the entrance to Christmas, MI. Most of the businesses contain Christmas in their name; Christmas Garage, Christmas Motel, etc. I think you get the picture.Dinner tonight was at The Irish Times Pub in Laurium, MI. It was recommended by the motel manager and proved to be great. The Guinness Braised Beef and the Whiskey Chicken were both mouth-watering. We will probably pay the Pub another visit before we leave town.
Tomorrow we will be heading to Gay, MI and the Gay Bar, the home of 25+ different hotdogs. I plan on having a Chicago dog. We will let you know tomorrow how good they are. If you have been following this blog from the beginning, you could get the idea that we are “eating our way through Michigan”.
