Day 2

 Tuesday,  August 24, 2021 

Breakfast was the typical Continental, but would satisfy us through the morning. 

We headed to Pictured Rocks National Seashore to view waterfalls. However, waterfalls  would be elusive.   We could hear the Munising waterfall, but to view it we'd need to walk some distance on an uneven path; Peter didn't think that I should attempt it.  The elevation of Machu Picchu and the rocks of Galapagos are a distant memory. The other waterfalls required some climbs and/or many steps. We drove until the road ended, with beaches and some scenic overlooks. We followed Hwy 58 to Kingston Lake where we found a secluded picnic table for our lunch.  It was so peaceful and isolated, well worth the drive.


We didn't have a lot of time to spare before out boat departed to view the Pictured Rocks. We headed to the top deck thinking that would be the optimum for taking pictures.  Not that great.  There was no standing on the upper deck, but people were free to move around on the lower deck. Trying to take pictures with heads in the way and cameras raised was a challenge.  I still managed to get some fairly good pictures. 

The rock formations and colorations were spectacular. A real bonus was the weather,  nice and mild, with a gentle breeze.



Dinner at The Dogpatch was very rustic as the name suggests, but filling and quite good.
