AUGUST 2013
Another day of travel, approximately 180 miles.
Those who have traveled in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan may remember that there are a few "speciality" foods we enjoy.

So, what are pasties? THESE, yummy delights, no they are not that other thing (if you web search you will know what I am referring to! LOL). The miners in the UP carried these into the mines for a hearty and easy to eat meal. These can be topped with gravy, or other condiments such as ketchup, purists however will frown on topping them with anything. The really good ones have rutabagas and potatoes in them (my opinion.)
You know me, I snap photos of things I find interesting while Man drives. Such as:
We have some lovely waterfalls, this one is along the roadside. We have hiked to others, all different, all delightful:
Man is particularly fond of, smoked foods, and yes, fish will easily do.
We are driving US 2 along Lake Michigan for many miles. It's a lovely ride. This was taken just southeast of Brevort, heading southeasterly.
We have sand dunes along this section of 2:
Big lakes demand a light house or two - -
Soon we will arrive in the St. Ignace area where we will stay for a few nights. We have only stayed on that side of the Big Mac bridge a time or two, at least one time the campground was less than acceptable in our opinion. So, we picked a new to us place to stay and it turned out to be very nice, just what we like in a campground. We will spend three nights and ride over to Mackinaw Island from St. Ignace, another new experience as we have always left from Mackinaw City.
