| View of Lake Michigamme from our campsite |
From the campground brochure: "Where the middle of nowhere is somewhere."
We're at Michigamme Shores Campground, and it's about midway between St Ignace, MI (our last stop) and Duluth, MN (our next stop). Today's adventure was a visit to Van Riper State Park, walk the overview trail there (which follows the Peshekee River) to see more of Lake Michigamme, spill diesel all over the bed of the truck, eat at a famous restaurant, tour a somewhat dead Michigamme, MI (small tourist trap where it's season hasn't started yet), fill a propane tank, and clean up the bed of the truck. The picture to the right is of the Peshekee River.
We tried various views of Lake Michigamme, but I think this one is the best as it includes the blooming trees and bushes. Yep, we're back in pollen season!
The finches of Mt Shasta Restaurant where some scenes of the movie "Anatomy of a Murder" were taken. I recognized Jimmy Stewart in some of the pictures hanging in the restaurant.
Once, again, we're the only transients in a campground...
...that has a train run through it. Not bad, though. One train a day during the early afternoon is all we've experienced during our stay. If we were to decide to be Michibama snowbirds, this would make an excellent summer spot.
Later, David
