Mission Hill, Bay Mills and the Soo

Sandy and I decided to take a little trip to the U.P. on a normal fall Saturday (rain, clouds, cold, sun and warm within 10 hours).



-Mission Hill in the Bay Mills/Brimley area.

-The sign for the steep one way hill to go up there on - Sandy showing what happens when you don't follow the sign and there's a huge truck up there for some reason.

-A forest path.
-The site of the burial of the sailors of the Steamer Myron. The Myron went down in Lake Superior. The sailors went on a lifeboat, the captain stayed with the ship. The captain actually was saved and the next spring, the sailors came ashore, encased in ice. Ironic.









-Sandy and the Point Iroquois Lighthouse.
-Steps in the tower.
-My shadow and the rocks in Lake Superior.


-The shore.
-Point Iroquois Lighthouse.














-Sandy and the shore (and cool walkway).
-What you don't do for the perfect pictures.
-Since it was a nice weekend, I weeded and cleaned up the yard. And I found this praying mantis, with TWO young on its back (you only can see the one).
