YayWe headed east on Thursday September 11 from Duluth across the top of Wisconsin and into the Upper Peninsula UP on Highway 2 to the 28. The one thing that we wanted to make sure to do while we were in Wisconsin was get some nice fresh http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/Michigan/UP/blog-327089.html Yesterday was definitely an odd day. I believe I got bit by a bee. Yes bit not stung. I was riding in town with my visor up since I love to feel the air on my face. I wear tinted polycarbonate glasses too just in case larger objects fly right into my eye. Some large bug flew in and hit me in the face and I thought it might be a bee but I couldnrsquot feel it crawling around on me. Norm http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/Michigan/UP/blog-304400.html We left the campground and its mosquitoes and headed north on M123 to Tahquamenon rhymes with phenomenon Falls State Park. We went first to the upper falls and were amazed at how different they are. The water is brown from the tannin that leaches out of the cedar spruce and hemlocks. Below the falls the water is foamy caused by the combination of soft water the force of the water going ov http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/Michigan/UP/blog-300747.html Lindsay and I went to Cedarville Michigan for the week of July 4th.

Upper Peninsula for all you nonMichigandershellip..but I kept calling it the Northern Peninsula since Irsquove been outofstate for so longLindsayrsquos family has been going up every summer for the past 30 years We spent time hanging out http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/Michigan/UP/blog-132637.html It's always a riot in the Upper Peninsula. Quite exciting really.We fish eat sleep fish eat sleep and listen to my grandpa's war experiences overseas. Every time I visit I kick myself for not bringing a tape recorder. Scott's helping me keep all of the details straight http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/Michigan/UP/blog-86630.html After leaving Canada and NY we made our way up through Lower Michigan into the Upper Penisula UP. We stopped in Macinac and took pictures of the lighthouse and the bridge onto the UP and then headed up to Soo Locks in Sault Ste. Marie. We saw a ship come through the locks while we were there and it was pretty interesting. The locks are right where the International Bridge provides access to Can http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/Michigan/UP/blog-73136.html So....this time Audra was insistent on making the trek up Hogsback Mountain again. I say again not because we have gone there previously but becuase the first try was foiled by Audra's innate sense of direction. Well this trip was also doomed. Not only did we not make it but I also managed to break through the ice of the lake we found ourselves at. It was by the edge and not deep.
