We took a great late summer vacation back to the Charlevoix, MI, area (lots of rollerblading and beach time) and then headed north to Wawa, Ontario for three days in and around Lake Superior Provincial Park. For all the photos, check out http://fordam.shutterfly.com/2604.
Highlights include:
- rollerblading (Leelanau Trail and Little Traverse Wheelway - 4 different excursions)
- lunch and wine tasting at Black Star Farms near Suttons Bay, MI
- beach time with family on Lake Charlevoix
- dinner overlooking Lake Michigan at Legs Inn, Cross Village, MI
- crazy fog and a red moon on the Upper Peninsula between St. Ignace and Sault St. Marie
- hiking three trails and viewing the Agawa Pictographs in Lake Superior Provincial Park
- delicious meals, interesting company, and spectacular views at Rock Island Lodge on the shores of Lake Superior
- canoe trip on the Michipicoten River, which included spawning salmon, many bald eagles, and a rescue of Frank's Adirondacks hat from the choppy waves (This was, by far, our most challenging canoe with the wind blowing directly at us for much of the trip. On the final push to the Lodge, we had to walk the canoe along the shore and thought we might not make it as we paddled hard and gained no ground. Our Canadian host was not concerned about us at all....)
- Shorts Brewery food (finally cool enough for their soup and mac & cheese) and beers: chocolate wheat porter and bourbon barrel double IPA
- scenic driving along the Lake Michigan coast from Leland to Manistee
