Thursday August 31, 2017 We can’t believe that it is the last day of August. Only another 3 weeks or so left in our journey. We wake up to mostly sunny skies so that is a good sign. There is an island visible across the water and my map says it is Amygdaloid Island, something […]

Choices
Wednesday August 30, 2017 Sometime last night, we both knew we made a solid decision in choosing to sleep in the shelter. Not only did we have room to ourselves in sleeping but no mice made it into our roofed domain. But wait, there’s more. Because it absolutely poured during the night. Full blown thunderstorm, […]
Isle Royale National Park
Tuesday August 29, 2017. We get up fairly early and have our breakfast at the hotel. Nothing fancy, just the normal continental breakfast items. Our ship to Isle Royale leaves at 0900 but we have to be there by 0800 for check in. It is a short ride over the bridge to Houghton and the […]
Houghton Michigan
Monday August 28, 2017 Today, we have a short drive to the town of Houghton, Michigan. It is only about 100 miles and will be our jumping off point to Isle Royale tomorrow. It rained hard and steady last night but the rain has stopped and the skies are supposed to slowly clear up today. […]
Lakenenland
Sunday August 27, 2017 Since we did more than we had planned yesterday, we get to sleep in today. It is raining lightly when we get up and we take our time with today’s breakfast. We then take our time packing up. However slow we go, we do eventually finish and have to leave. We […]
Chapel Trail and More
Saturday August 26, 2017 We have a nice continental breakfast of homemade muffins and coffee. Sunday is supposed to be a rainy day so we have changed up our hiking plans a bit and do a few things today that we had planned for tomorrow. This means a 45 minute drive to our first stop […]
Back to the Future
Friday August 25, 2017 We get up and enjoy another nice breakfast. We pre packed last night so that we can catch the 0945 ferry rather than the 1130 one. We are out the door at 0920 and at the ferry dock at 0931. No problem boarding and we are on our way back to […]
Bicycle Built For Two
Thursday August 24, 2017 We start the day with a nice breakfast at the Inn. We have an egg casserole, Cherry crumble, carrot cake, and monkey bread. It is very good and the company of the other guests is good as well. After breakfast, we walk to town and rent a tandem bike. This is […]
Time Traveling
Wednesday August 23, 2017 For breakfast, we have leftover sausage from our pancake breakfast on a croissant that we bought yesterday. We drive down to the ferry dock where there is free parking while you are on Mackinac Island. For those of you that do not know, Mackinac Island does not allow any motorize vehicles […]
Back to the Land of the Not So Free
Tuesday August 22, 2017 We wake up to a very different day from yesterday. Instead of sunny, it is cloudy and looks like rain. Instead of doing a bit more walking on the Canadian side, we decide to cross the border and take care of an errand this morning. Our border crossing starts out with […]
