We left Sudbury mid morning and met some friends in Espanola. Carmene was one of my bridesmaids when I got married. We had a pleasant visit. Then we headed out for Sualt Ste. Marie and crossed into the US. We travelled along Hwy 28 in Northern Michigan to Marquette where we camped at Wal mart. We were reminded of home today by "Calabogie Road" near the Sault and "Carp River" in Northern Michigan. We saw a wolf today by the roadside.

... ve been vacant a while.  I turned off the road to check out the skiing capital of the Midwest &#8211; Powderhorn Mountain, which was downhill from the road I was on!!  There were 6 or 7 chairlifts with smart red paint but which looked like they were driven by steam power and the whole place was empty and shut up.  The lodge made me think of the hotel in "The Shining" so I turned back to the main road pretty sharpish.<br><br> <br><br>The biggest ...

We arrived at Joe's new location drive-thru window just ten minutes before closing. Telling our window server that we didn't know anything about pastys, she was sorry to say the only version left was the "Traditional" (meat&amp; veggies -either with or without ...

... hot and humid in late summer, 28 degrees C plus, but up here it is typically drier and much cooler. Tonight temps will be down to about 5 degrees C. It isn't so bad along M-2, but when we turn north on M-77, the tall trees block the sunshine and we notice the cooler air. By the time we reach Munising we are very cold and stop for dinner at the Sydney Restaurant with its Australian theme. Tonight it is Seafood Bar, and of course, white fish ...

... called "UPpers" (pronounced You-pers). Lots of pasty shops made Rose's mouth water with the memory of her Grandma Mills' specialty (a meat, potato, onion, and sometimes, turnip half-moon shaped pie brought to this area by the Cornish miners, of which Rose's Grandpa was one)...more details on pasties to follow! We stopped at our campground on Lake Michigamme, unloaded the ...

Last morning in Houghton, followed by a trip to the Porkies with my grandma. Visited Lake of the Clouds and then various waterfalls in the park. Lots of fun with photos to follow soon. Ended the day with dinner in Marquette. Now it's time for bed. Night everyone, ~A
