Houghton County

Had a good night sleep and after breakfast took a walk in this little state campground. It is our last look at Lake Michigan until next year....Drove most of the length of the UP today. ( pretty much a similar route that we took coming out earlier this summer so no stops) All sorts of fall color! And up here there is a mix of the hardwoods and the evergreens so you always have this nice contrast. Downside, spent most of the day in rain or fog! There was a brief moment that it looked like the sun might come out, but we drove through that moment...regardless, we really did enjoy all the color!

Stopped for fuel ($3.25/gal), lunch and some groceries and then finally pulled into the Canyon Falls trailhead parking lot to get in some leg time. Curt and Shannon had been here and thought we would enjoy.

We were so fortunate in timing, just a misty, slightly foggy walk, but it was so pretty and felt great to walk in the woods! This was not a "Hibbs" sort of hike, no elevation gain and it might (?) have measured out as a full mile, but we all enjoyed the fall colors and the waterfall! Actually this would have been rated as a "Linley* hike! (Just a little tease Linley...)

Drove on to Ontonagon, a very small town on the southern shore of Superior. Staying at a sort of crude RV park, essentially a large grassy field with pedestals, but their restrooms look pretty clean and they have a decent wi-fi, which is unusual in some of the small parks. It trained on and off most of the night, but hoping for a dryer day tomorrow!Read more
