Sand River and Lake Superior

LeeAnn and I headed north to Canada (yay fruit bars!), past the Soo and up to Lake Superior Provincial Park (over an hour north of the Soo).

-LeeAnn and I ready to go on the ledge to see the pictographs.
-Misshepezhieu and a canoe made from red ochre.
-Another canoe. Many of these (the ones we can see) are 200 years old or up to 1500 years old.

-LeeAnn contemplating Lake Superior's waves on the ledge.
-There's the ledge we walk on and the cliff you look up at for the pictographs. Notice the spikes with the ropes on the ledge so you can lean back and look up the cliff.
-We took off our shoes for better traction on the rock. It was a bit choppy and we both ended up getting wet, me getting the brunt of Lake Superior "kissing" us with a wave.




-On to Sand River and the Pinguisibi trail. Amazing rapids and waterfalls at every turn.
-Someday...three hikers trek across the bridge on Hwy 17.


-A bitty fall that I stood in for awhile.
-And past the first set of rapids and waterfalls were more!
-...and more!
-On the Pinguisibi Trail to the side was an abundance of moss...and here some shamrocks and ferns.
-One last trip up Castle Rock in St. Ignace to see the island. And talk to some locquacious kids.
