Terry-
I spent the 4th of July a few years ago up in Copper Harbor. Camping in that area is quite simply heaven. The days are noticeably longer and going to sleep with the sound of the harbor bell in the distance and the faint sound of water hitting the shore was so incredibly calming. We hiked around the island, from the campground, past the fort, and over to the lighthouse. The wildflowers were so varried and so perfect. Judging from where you marked your camp, we were close, but in the back row next to the woods. Nice private campground and well maintained facilities. I'm impressed that they have wifi now. Did you take the boat ride to Isle Royale??
Fouth of july weekend I'll be backpacking in the Black Hills. I'll be heading out for 3 days living out of my pack. I'm not going to lug a computer on my back, maybe the digital camera, but that's it!!

Kevin, my wife and I went to Mackinac Island on our honeymoon too (way back in 1986)! We only went there for the day, we brought our bikes along and rode around the island, very nice place. We spent most of the time biking, hiking and camping in the Porcupine mountains.
About 8 years ago we camped at the campground in Copper Harbor we went exploring the backroads at the tip of the penninsula and hiking out to the shore. We meet up with some locals and spent a very nice day relaxing on a long sandy beach along Keystone bay, see red X on the map.

Kraig,
You and your wife only have us beat by one year! We just celebrated our 19th on 6/13 (about the time Terry was there). We didn't take bicycles, we rented a tandem on the island. As I recall, that was the catalyst for one of our first fights - I felt like I was the only one doing the pedaling and she maintained that she *was* pedaling.
Beautiful country up there. We also like the Traverse City area. So many people move south when they retire, I just might move north!

KRAIG - Only problem WAY up on Lake Superior is the water is so darned cold year round....I've been to Mackinaw Is. several times....And the SOO locks.... You have to plan on spending at LEAST a day on the island a half a day at the locks.... and if You come home without fudge.... SHAME on You!
WYATT - I got Your message...I'll call you back before You go to the Black Hills.... I know getting a signal THERE would be a problem!

Charlie, is the guy with the Cubs Jeff Daniels? Will you be picking up the Cubs in da moonlight?
Denny, we spent a whole day on the island and yes we bought some fudge.
Kevin, my 20th anniversary is this August 19th. I hope I remember that when August gets here......
Terry, looks like you had a good trip.

Kraig,
Nope on Jeff D.
It was a combination of local ads in the paper and word of mouth from the guy up there that got the mini herd rounded up.
Seems there's another 12 or so waiting for my return trip too, LOL
And YES we got fudge and some pasty's and a few other goodies along the way.

Terry thanks for the great pics from up that way, my wife and I have been planning a trip for our 20th anniversary in Sept. We looked at the map up that direction, but it's just a little too far from Kentucky for the 4 days we've got time for. Hopefully we'll make it up that way someday, I've never made it up to that part of the country, same with New England states. I'll have to plan ahead for future years.
We decided on the Shanadoah valley area for our get away this year.

Spent Friday through Sunday on the North Shore of Lake Superior.
Two views of the Temperance River.
One of 4 loons we saw out in the Big lake.
Just your basic sunset.
My wife Brenda in a "pothole".
Me in a "pothole" goofing around.
Daughter Beige in a "pothole" with me nearby per her insistance.
Note that lip.
Oh and back on my June 20th post I typed the wrong date for my 20th anniversary it is August 16th not August 19th good thing I noticed.

Here's a view of the pothole we were standing in. Note along the right side of the photo. This was taken from a bridge that crosses the river.
Baptism River.
