Waking up in a tent one last day. It was a morning like many others. On again off again rain. Well sprinkles anyway. Cool and damp. I laid there for a bit just to enjoy hearing the sound of the rain and the lake. Much like the white noise of the ocean waves but a less rhythmic, more stready sound. It qas quite pleasant. And wanted to stay longer but... nature called.
The boy was up shortly after and we made our tea amd packed up camp before one last stroll on the beach.
I could have only imagined the hugeness (yes thats a word) of Lake Superior last night in the dark. And it didn't compare to the actual vision of the lake. Its more like a small non-salty ocean with waves and currents and tides. Today with the chopped and heavy surf I didn't dare to stick my big toe in.
A 1.5 mile walk down one of the many trails will take you to a lighthouse with many shipwrecks and artifacts about. Next time we will visit. So cool.
Then off headed south through the U.P. to Grossw Ile for dinner with TJ's parents.
Back throuth the windy route 58 then 2 south and over the Macinac Bridge. The longest suspension bridge in the US. Or something like that. A quick (or not so quick as the case may be) stop for lunch then Grosse Ile.
We had a lovely dinner with TJs parents and one more stop to crash at Jeff & Lauras for our last night on this epic journey. I almost dont want it to end. We really have had an awesome trip. I miss the boys though. It will be good to see them in the wee hours of the morning Monday.
