Day 13 - Monday, September 27 - Whitefish Point

 Today we drove up to Paradise, MI & Whitefish Point. When we were here in 2011 we went to Whitefish Point sightseeing and happened across Brown's Fisheries in Paradise. GREAT FISH, low key environment. We made sure to hit both places again in 2018. Today was the day to do both in 2021. Much to our chagrin we learned that Brown's was not open Sunday or Monday. We were sad.😞 Not only was Brown's closed but the ice cream place across the street had been torn down and replaced with a storage place. Doubly sad!

We ate a a newly opened restaurant just down the street from Browns. My fish and Kathy's hamburger were both good, but the new place will never have the charm of Brown's. Browns building is in need of a lot of TLC. We hope that it will still be open should we manage to get up here again.

Then it was on out to Whitefish Point and miles of Lake Superior shoreline.

All along this shore there are smooth rocks, most no bigger than eggs. They have unique colors mixed in each rock. Kathy could spend hours checking them out. The temps were in the high 50's-low60's while we were out there. The sun was shining but there was a BRISK breeze blowing in off the water. We did do a little wading, the water didn't seem all the cold but I'm sure it would have had we gotten more than just our feet wet.

It is about an hours drive up there from the campground, through absolutely gorgeous country. Below is the view from one of the many Scenic Outlooks 

I obviously need more practice doing selfies. I think I need a selfie stick.😀 Those were such a rage several years ago when we went west. Does anyone use them now?

It is beautiful the way the trees arch completely over the road in some areas. 

Michigan would be such an awesome state if the politics weren't controlled by Detroit, a city so mis-managed over the years that it actually went bankrupt a few years ago.

As we walked around the campground this afternoon we ran across this apple "bush". It couldn't have been more than 6' tall. It was loaded with apples. Kathy ate one and said it was good.

Tomorrow we move about 30 miles to the Soo Locks Campground in Sault Ste. Marie. We love sitting next to the St. Charles River watching the freighters as they prepare to enter the locks from the east, and looking across the river to watch what is happening on the Canadian shore. 

God is good, may He bless you and yours.
