Yoopy - Pictured Rocks

---

We left Michigamme Shores after a fairly leisurely morning. It rained last night and we were hoping the camper would dry. It did, but the carpet didn't and my stove was full of water after being left outside.
From Champion through Ishpeming and then Marquette, along the south shore of Lake Superior we drove, to Munising where we found the Visitor Center for Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. Pictured Rocks is a park that is best viewed from a boat, but there are overlooks, waterfalls and beaches. We started with Munising Falls, Sand Point, and Miner's Castle on the west side. Then we drove down around to the east side where we stopped at Sable Falls, the Log Slide Overlook with its views of the Grand Sable Dunes (500' high) and the Au Sable Lighthouse, then down to Hurricane River, where we walked a ways down Twelvemile Beach. A lovely park, and we did see a shipwreck just offshore of Twelvemile Beach, that was almost totally underwater, but with clear enough water that we could see it.
Tonight we're outside of Newberry, MI, being held captive in our camper by swarms of mosquitoes and blackflies.
