| Painted Rocks from the water |
Today we headed to the Locks at Sault St. Marie that help ships navigate between Lake Superior and Lake Huron. Located on the Canadian border in the NE corner of the Upper Peninsula. Since no ships were scheduled to reach the locks for over four hours we headed west toward Munising via the scenic route through the wild woods of Michigan. We did not see any moose or other wildlife but did spot a large freighter on Lake Superior.
At Munising we checked into our Motel then headed off to the docks to take a tour boat out to see Painted Rocks from the water. Since there were high waves (6' to 9') we were only able to take an abbreviated trip. We saw the layered sandstone cliffs eroded with water action from the lake. Our ride was smooth with no sign of the high wave action.
