I left you when we were having a Canadian rainy day and cups of tea while waiting for the sun before biking to Silver Islet. The next day was beautiful and we biked to the picturesque neighborhood and chatted with the locals to learn about their life.
We now are moving east toward Neys Provincial Park.
This was a fun and challenging Ranger talk.
This was a short two or three hour hike, but it ranked up there among the best hikes of this trip. Mainly because the vegetation was so different.
At the half way point we had a spectacular view of Lake Superior.
We traveled south east to discover this little gem while stopping for gas.
You should come see my beautiful Lake Superior stones!
We are in Lake Superior Provincial Park and go to view the pictographs. Something recommended for calm days only! The ledge was very narrow, the water very close and the pictographs were fasinating.

I found this exhibit amazing. How sad for Lake Erie where I grew up.
It was a long wait on the bridge to get into the US, but entertaining as we could see the docks of Sault Ste Marie.
I was all ready for the US border patrol to enter our RV and check the freezer/refrigerator in the attempt to confiscate meat not in its store packaging (home made chili, meat loaf, or home grown venison, etc) but alas…
That evening we celebrated!

Next morning we woke to the biggest down pour I think I have ever experienced.
We were not intending to stop at Fort Michilmackinac, but it turned out to be quite entertaining.
We stopped at a produce stand and loaded up, discovering that it is the height of the season.
We camped at Wilderness State Park which is at the top of a long narrow peninsula, rather out of the way, only to discover that just about all camp sites were taken and it is a very popular annual destination for many Michigan families. Everyone was friendly and we had such a wonderful time we decided to stay an extra day. The beach was great. the water wonderfully clean and warm.
Poor Daisy was not allowed on the beach, but we did find a cove where she could swim.
Living on the beach brings delights in all forms…
A short bike ride down the road from the park is a Mom & Pop store that makes fresh donuts every morning…YUM!!!
We left our delightful park and headed south on probably one of the most beautiful drives in the US.
Orchards and farm produce stands everywhere. Similar to Florida and orange stands.
Next day we visit Sleeping Bear National Park and enjoy the exhibits as well as getting a live demonstration at the Lifesaving Station rescuing Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy.
We spent the night at Leelanau State Park.
Wallowing in the first beach like weather of the trip .
In Week 18 we will continue south along the coast of Lake Michigan.
