Day 7, Lake Superior Circle Tour

Short entry tonight, it's late and I'm tired after all the fresh air today. And I left my notebook in the car and am too lazy to go out and get it.
Crossed the international bridge into Michigan. Had a pleasant customs agent who wanted to know why we had been in Canada. When we told him we were doing the Lake Superior Circle Tour, he said to take our time and enjoy!

We drove to Grand Marais and had lunch at a sportsmen's bar. Good burgers and great onion rings.

Most of the day was spent in the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. First we drove through the land version, stopping at a beach and on top of some of the cliffs. Good fall colors. Arrived in Munising, we signed up for the sunset cruise on the lake to see the cliffs from the water. They are awesome! And the color was great at that time of the night. We took zillions of pictures on the way down and then just sat and enjoyed the gorgeous view on the way back.

Late dinner and now we are collapsed. Not much sightseeing tomorrow, will just drive to the other side of the upper peninsula. We're thinking of arriving early and having a laundry session.
