Yupper, we were Yoopers Today!

First stop was Menominee, Michigan on the lower edge of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan where all the Yoopers live!    This is the furthest I had previously been in Michigan....a couple of miles to say I was in Michigan.  It's been a long-time dream to explore this state further and now we're doing it.  My sister, Robyn worked in this city many years ago and one of her favorite spots was in view of the lighthouse.

Found another old barn right by Green Bay to take a photo of and I did not break any laws or cause any near accidents.

Escanaba is a beautiful city with a huge waterfront park.  The Sand Point lighthouse was basking in the sunshine.  It was fun to walk to the top.

The next stop was Fayette State Park about 16 miles south of Hwy 2.  It's an old company town that was built to support the smelting furnace for iron ore from 1867 - 1891.  Many buildings are still standing and it was a great town to walk around and into several of the buildings along the Snail Shell Harbor. 

As we were touring a storm system blew in and shut out our sunshine.

The temperature dropped about 15 degrees and a wall of fog and mist surrounded us so as we were driving and saw a sign for the Seul Choix Point lighthouse, supposedly the most haunted lighthouse on the Great Lakes, we took another side trip to this lighthouse.  The dark clouds and fog highlighted the need for these lighthouses for mankind's safety.

Now, that my photos are done uploading (took forever!) and I have had my jacuzzi bath after twelve hours of travel.....it's time for me to get to bed.  Tomorrow, Mackinac Island!
