June 9, 2001: Hiking in the Upper Peninsula




We drove to the Keweenau peninsula, which was absolutely gorgeous.  We saw Horseshoe Falls.   I was dreading the hike, as I remembered the experience with ticks last summer.    The hike went well and I had a good time.  We drove a little further to a more secluded area and walked for about an hour down this 2-track to a secluded beach.   There were only 3 other people down there.   It would be hard to find this place if you didn't know about it.    The clouds lingered around the water.    Then, we went to a red lighthouse.  

I got to see where US 41 starts. This was the same highway that went through Chicago, eventually ending up in Florida.   

We had dinner in downtown Houghton at this wonderful pizza place.   Kara wanted us to try the taco pizza, which was delicious.   After dinner, Kara took us to a place that she and her boyfriend would go to see the fireworks.
