Munising Day 3

Munising Day 3

Wednesday,  August 25, 2021

We headed to Fayetteville Historical Park, a reconstructed area demonstrating an iron smelting settlement with a harbor. On the way we spotted a wonderful picnic spot and remarked what a great place to have a picnic.  When we arrived at our destination, the first challenge was approaching the Visitors Center down a number of steps.  An overlook of the grounds appeared to be down a steep incline, which would also have to be ascended.  There were numerous buildings spread some distance apart that would involve very much walking.  Even though I had my walker, it would be very strenuous.  We spoke with people who completed the trip who told Peter to talk me out of it.  We took their advice and headed out.  Good thing the attendant was not present when we entered the grounds, otherwise we would have paid for nothing.  We backtracked our route and found that great picnic spot right next to the lake.

Instead of further exploration, we decided to enjoy the surroundings of our very nice motel with a lot of lawn chairs, picnic tables and grills on an expansive lawn right on Lake Superior.

Dining options are very casual. I think the only sit-down restaurant was the Dog Patch, the rest seem to be take-out and counter service.  EJ's Dine or Dash (the dine is a stretch) had good reviews, and even had deep fried pierogi on the menu.  I had a gyros.  After finding a post office to mail my letter to Don and Masako, we drove through the downtown that is getting the main road widened.

We finished the evening outdoors, well beyond sunset.
