The Trip to the Upper Peninsula, Part 2


Such a very quiet time we had. Very peaceful. From evening walks on the shore of Lake Superior...


to canoe trips across an inland lake, we were truly away from it all. The cabin we rented was a third of a mile from an inland lake which was separated from Lake Superior by only a high, large sandbar.


By following directions like, "Continue down the path that starts at the dead pine tree....), we finally came upon the canoe which was available for our use. After crossing the lake, we came ashore on this sand bar. It was actually a beach. With no one on it!


We walked along, looking at rocks, enjoying the quiet, the blue sky, and soft lapping water.

It was gorgeous. And it was all ours.

We stayed for quite a while, not wanting to leave such a peaceful, lovely spot.

There was driftwood to sit on, lovely rocks to admire and collect. (We've decided to revisit a childhood hobby of both of ours-- rock polishing. Now we have something to do with all the rocks....)





Of course, an occasional selfie to let the kids know what we were up to...


The next day we took the sunset cruise along Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore....

 Very amazing and beautiful rock formations....



 The colors became more spectacular as the sun set.




The Upper Peninsula of Michigan..The glory of God is all over it....
