Wow, I didn't realize it had been so long since I posted! We spent two days in Bayfield, Wi where we took the Apostile Island Tour. Larry was a little worried as it was a 3 and 1/2 hour cruise and Gilligan went on a three hour cruise and you know what happened to him! Our tour was uneventful in that area. There 6 lighthouses on different Apostle islands and we cruised by the one on Raspberry Island and the one on Devil's Island. (Sorry, I didn't take digital pics so you have to wait until my film is developed or I get to see Larry's digitals!) It was a little rough at Devil's because we were actually on Lake Superior instead of within the protected bay of the Apostles, and it was COLD on the water! We each had on sweaters and jackets and were grateful we didn't have seats up in the open. I visited a couple of quilt shops there as well and bought some more fabric.
We left there yesterday and stopped of to see the light at Ontonagan, MI again no digitals from me, sorry. I really prefer film! We stopped here in Houghton, MI for two nights in the most wonderful site! It backs up to Portage Lake (which isn't really a lake but a part of Superior which cuts part of the peninsula into an island.)
Today we went on another boat ride, much shorter and in a much smaller boat! We rode out to the Copper Harbor Lighthouse. For the first time this trip we got to go inside a lighthouse instead of just looking at it. So many of the lighthouses on Lake Superior can only be accessed by water and ferries etc don't run to all that many. On the way back we toured the Eagle Harbor light as well.
So that's all of the Great lakes for now and we head south into the heat tomorrow. Thank goodness the trailer has Air conditioning!
