A Visit to the Upper Peninsula - Tahquamenon Falls and Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore

I hope you enjoy this audio journal. You can find a video that provides a slightly different glimpse of the trip here.

Lower Tahquamenon Falls. Even though it is cloudy you will always be impressed when you come here.

Tahquamenon Falls. The Upper Falls are shown pouring themselves over the drop. While bugs can sometimes drive you nuts at this state park (not today) it is definitely a place worth visiting.

This is Clark’s first backpacking trip. We are a couple hours in to our first day having our first lunch on the trail at a spot we like.

Our first day on the Lakeshore Trail. Joni looks happy and ready to tackle the world.

I wish I could recall what this car looked like when I first saw it some 20 years ago. It’s been sitting here far longer than that. The place is an odd spot for an abandoned car as it isn’t really by any roads but maybe that is why it’s here.

Pine Bluffs is about a half mile from Trappers Lake. We had to hustle to get here for the sunset but it was worth it. The photo doesn’t really capture the quality of the sunset colors though it does a better job with Lake Suerior which has grown rougher since the afternoon.

Lake Superior waves lap at the shore of this cove which is one of several. Andy is shown here and you can tell it must be a lovely day - he is down to his base layer.

It takes a bit of work to gett down (more to climb back up) to this cove but it sure is a pretty spot I am standing in.

Grand Portal Arch. This year we walked through frequent mud spots that threatened to soak your feet. A prelude to what we would find the next day.

Not much of a castle anymore but still worth looking at even, or perhaps especially, on an overcast day such as this day.
