Circumnavigating Lake Superior

We spent our last night on Superior at the Whitefish Point Harbor of Refuge so that we could visit the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum

Then back to Sault Ste. Marie. Entering the Canadian Lock

A few shots from Copper Harbor. We really were surprised by Copper Harbor, thinking just a little place to fuel up, go out to dinner and catch up on e-mail after being out on the island for 11 days, and it turned out to be a thriving, crowded, beautiful place filled with young and old vacationers. And no cell signal.
There are several campgrounds in the area bringing in people to mountain bike, kayak and just relax. Every motel we walked past was no vacancy and restaurants were packed.
Population less than 100 (in the winter) and there were twice that many in one restaurant the night we went out.
The town's people got together and said NO to cell service back when they were about to get towers and they still don't have it. Oh well, what's another day or two.

I guess when the town is that small, what else do you need?

It's not much to look at, but the brews were good and it's billed as Michigan's northern most brewery

Now we've had the boat to both ends of US 41. Next winter when we're in Ft Myers and I'm driving down Cleveland Ave/Tamiami Trail, I'll remember this.

The morning sun shining on the Copper Harbor State Marina the day we left. Very small but huge on cleanliness, updated facilities, has loaner bikes (which we put to use) and possibly the frendliest harbor master we have ever met.

Loved Copper Harbor when we snowmobiled to it. The trail comes in from the hills in the background. It’s really pretty to see from the that perspective. Awesome photos!

This was a pleasure to read this morning while sipping coffee on the deck with our youngest. Definitely don’t get views like that on Erie.

Thanks for sharing.

Side note. Have a pic of my wife siting on the sand swings at PIB as well.
