We stopped to get gas before we headed to the upper peninsula, while Dave was in the gas station I saw this woman enter. I made Dave wait outside until she came out so we could snap this lovely picture. WOW, is all I can say, is that a beaver tail? Sewn to a dress?

Welcom to Mackinaw Bridge, you will be traveling across the lake on this thing for 5 miles! enjoy! I started to drive after we got gas, but I only lasted 15-20 minutes and was falling asleep. Ha, luckily my husband is a good driver!

"One of the largest falls East of the Mississippi"
Tahquamenon Upper Falls

The "lower falls" this is actually only one set there is another through the trees on the right.

We were already soaking from our walk back from the upper falls, so we enjoyed "splash splash" in the puddles

White Fish Point on laek or the "graveyard of the great lakes." Over 330 sailors have lost their lives at this beach in approx. 550 wrecks .

White Fish Point- a nice canadian took our picture

Yes, another sunset this photo turned out great for how dark it was. Great job Dave!
