Sugar Shack and phone booth




Just some of the thinks to see and do in Albion. Who needsa phone in a phone booth anymore......A cell phone will do.


The other is the "sugar shack" where wonderful maple syrup is made

Last part of trip


We spent a week with relatives in Albion, Pa. A nice time to relax and for Jim to Fly fish. We also got our year supply of home made, collected and cooked Maple Syrup.
We are now on the road home, with a stop in Georgia to see Penny, Ryan and kids in their new home. Maybe a few chores also!

Dorr, Mi




We don't know where it is either, but they are doing some road work here. This is the view of our RV trying to pass the road construction. We thought we needed 4 wheel drive on the RV. Made it and even got to see a hot air balloon launch from the field here.

Petoskey,Mi


Went for a road trip to Cross Village because someone told us about the Tunnel of Trees road and the Leggs Inn, a polish restaurant. So we had some beer, sampler of food and fish spread and then back to Petoskey to look for Petoskey stones, dinner and another day. It is very windy here and Lake Michigan is very rough.


Leave tomorrow on way to Pennsylvania to see a cousin.

Mackinac Island




We are staying at Mackinaw Mills Campground and the view out our front window is of Lake Huron and the Bridge. We went to the Island yesterday and hiked everywhere. We also took the Carriage ride around the Island. We of course had to buy the Fudge. It still boggles my mind that that many stores can sell that much Fudge. Maybe they have something that the rest of the country could use.

Today the guys are golfing and the women are off to the Spa for a massage!

Munising, Mi




We arrived with a big tailwind. Boy are we glad we were not on the boat today! Staying at the Munising CountyTourist Park $20.00 night and right on Lake Superior. Sent Dave and Sherry on the Pictured Rocks Boat Tour and we hiked to Miner's Rock so we could photograph them as the boat came along the shore. Then we went on another hike in the PM to Mosquito Beach and took some photos. Another beautiful place.

Isle Royale


Wow! Words really can't describe Isle Royale National Park. It is 53 miles across Lake Superior and is a an Island close to Thunder Bay, Canada. The boat from Copper Harbor takes 3-4 hours and thanks to Bonine, no nausea. Hiked the Scoville Trail when we got there and saw 2 Moose. Well actually the moose walked out in front of us and since I was leading, scared me to no end. She stayed around and ate in the thicket, so no good photos. We also took the Sandy a boat that toured us around the Island and met and talked with Rolf Peterson and his wife Carolyn who have done the the reasearch on the Island on wolves and moose for 40 years.

The picture is from a hike to Lookout Louise and the view is towards Canada.
