5th Day of Vacation

After spending 2 nights in Munising, we began our trek to the top of the Keweenaw Peninsula, to Copper Harbor. It seemed like it took us forever. It was only about 200 miles, but the last 75 miles were curvy, hilly, and very slow. Sometimes it was like being on a rollercoaster. We passed some beautiful shore line scenery, as well as the snow gauge. If you click on that picture you'll see the arrow near the top. That was the amount of snowfall they received last year. I'm glad we weren't there to experience that. Our "record" snowfalls are enough.

Thankfully, everything is level at Fort Wilkins, so Jessie did get out of the van and we toured the Fort.

Jon overlooking Lake Fanny Hoo. As you can see, the trees weren't turning yet, even this far north. That was surprising to me.

We stayed for quite awhile then left for the trip back to Baraga where we had a room for the night at the Lakeside Inn. The same place we stayed 12 years earlier. On the way we ate dinner at Eagle River. It was almost dark when we got to Baraga. We traveled almost 300 miles that day. A big aggressive for a relaxing vacation in my opinion, but I have only myself to blame as I made the plans!
