Leaving L’Anse we were on our way to the Mackinac Bridge. Our drives all through the Upper Peninsula were beautiful. Whether we were on the coast of Lake Superior or driving through state parks, National Forests or private forests it was very scenic. Today was no different. The Mackinac Bridge opened in 1957 and the […]
This day was devoted to the Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park. This is one of the places that we were told by Josh and Carol’s friends not to miss. We started off with the Presque River Falls that are made up of 3 separate falls, the Nawadaha Falls, the Manido Falls and the Manabezho Falls. […]
We got up had coffee and made our way to Amicon Falls. The falls were in the state park and just around the corner from our campsite. The Amicon Falls consist of two very close together falls. The falls were nice and hardly anybody was there but we were surprised by the color of the […]

On the drive almost all of our views and vistas were of farms and their silos. Rolling hills after rolling hills. It was a beautiful day so enjoyed […]

They have no employees so the two of them are responsible for everything, from being accessible in the office to cleaning restrooms and everything in between. They have 67 acres to take care of, a big job. Josh […]
Breakfast with Elena was lots of fun. We reminisced, Elena loves Laguna Beach, and kept her up-to-date on friends, neighbors and Laguna Beach. We learned about her apartment complex where she has made friends with the other tenants. She has adapted to big city life and loves being around her son and family especially her […]
We were in Minneapolis to visit our friend, Elena. Elena had been our neighbor in Laguna Beach for 8 or 9 years. She had moved to Minneapolis about 3 years ago to be close to her new grandson. We had been in contact with each other for a few days before we landed in Minneapolis […]
