Bob & Cath on Lake Superior
Pics We left a little later Wednesday morning and were treated to another glorious day. The ride along the shore was beautiful, and the heat of the day simply intensified our enjoyment of the day. We stopped in the early afternoon for lunch, and decided that we would prefer to eat in one of the parks near Munising. A few minutes later, we were having our Subway sandwiches in the municipal park just outside the city.

Along the way, I managed to break the GPS connector so we are now without a GPS. Minor panic, but no matter, I wanted a more updated GPS anyway. We stopped at the tourist information center outside Marquette and were both impressed with the knowledge and enthusiasm of the two employees who truly love their area.

The Hampton Inn is new and beautiful and pricey, but the view, location and free breakfast are well worth the premium price. We had hoped to see divers from the cliffs north of town, but we managed to miss any divers who might have been performing. The shores of the lake are beautiful here, and very characteristic of Lake Superior in general.
