Leaving our little place in the forest. It was lovely. Hardly driving 10 miles and had to detour for one last falls..Aug Train Falls. Beautiful.

Third pic is of a little North Dakota -sized waterfall we discovered on the way back to the car.

On our way to Copper Harbor..about a 4 hour drive. Will stay around there tonight. Ken wants to see a lighthouse there ☺Read more

Day 24
Sculpture Walk in Lakenenland
June 14, 2021 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 63 °F
Had Lunch in downtown Marquette, old building rehab with restaurants and living spaces. Again, whitefish sandwich with dark beer. Just hard to beat. Walked the Marquette Yatch club marina, and drove some of the fabulous older homes near the lake. We had dropped the jeep off the RV in the morning so we could get around more easily. Took awhile, but we finally found where we had parked the RV!
Drove on to our next RV site in Munising along Hwy 28. Stopped at very interesting junkyard Art Sculpture Park called Lakenenland. Lots of whimsical pieces, but some with personal statements. All free, one artist (welder/ boilermaker) who just started creating these pieces. Think there are over 80 of them now. We both enjoyed strolling them with Auggie through the woods.
Overnighting the next two nights in Christmas, Mich, which is just outside Munising. Jetboat tour around Grand Island tomorrow. Weather should be fine!Read more
Traveler Great pictures, looks like another “picture perfect” day! Especially like the astronomer sculpture 😄

I had a nice time hanging out in the pool for 2 days, then staying by my tent while it rained a bit on the last day. It was also nice to get off the bike for two full days.

After some debating with myself, I decided to go straight to Marquette today to try to get the bike looked at before the rally. With only a little further than 200 miles to go, I didn't leave until just before 10:00. By 12:00, I had rolled into Michigan's UP (Upper Peninsula) and stopped at the first pastie shop I came to. A little beef, potatoes, and rutabaga baked in a folded pie crust is always tasty 😋!

I got to Bald Eagle HD in Marquette around 15:00, in plenty of time to speak to Service about Willie's needs: 120,000-mile service, shock, brakes, and accessories short fault. Another $1000 bucks estimate 😳. They ordered the shock and will call me when they want me to bring the bike in.

I also arrived here 3 days before schedule with no hotel or campground. It took me over an hour to find a place, and I had to go more than 12 miles west to find one I could sort of afford. I would've preferred to sleep at the dealership, but it is very nice to have a real bed, fridge, microwave, desk, and semi-working air conditioning 😁.

So long [for now], and thanks for all the fish! ✌️

I dropped another grand at the dealership today on a new shock and the 120,000-mile service (like a 5k) 😳. Because I was at the dealership by noon, I had lots of time to chat with anyone who sat down by me 🤣. I saw several familiar faces coming in to check in for the Lake Superior HOG Touring Rally, which is always really nice.

We had a catered pasta dinner around 17:30 (my bike still wasn't done 🤣) and a really nice evening chatting.

I was able to get my bike afterwards, but they didn't fix the ACC fault/short that makes my USB port, cigarette lighter, and--say it ain't so!--my heated grips not work 😭. What this means is cold hands and dead phone. I have a huge battery pack that can charge everything, but it needs to recharge, too, and I don't have any electricity at this camp site. Hopefully I can get fully recharged in the hotel tomorrow.

I'm up early to meet three guys at their hotel, so I'll cut this off.

So long [for now], and thanks for all the fish! ✌️

Lake Superior HOG Touring Rally Day 4
July 29, 2022 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 59 °F
Today was the last day of the rally ☹️. I decided not to sightsee ride with anyone and to come directly back to Marquette from Duluth. I left the hotel at 06:30 and, even with the time change back to Eastern, I got to the campground by noon. I set up camp, then took my laptop to the dealership to use their wifi. I got my GPS tracks downloaded and tomorrow's route uploaded and even worked on my route to Maryland after Sturgis.

The rally folks started rolling in before 17:00, and we had another great dinner together, chatting and cutting up as we traded contact information and said see ya to all our new friends.

This was an odd rally for me. I only rode with people the first day, I didn't do the route, and I used campgrounds instead of hotels (mostly). I almost didn't come up here, and I almost feel like I didn't. Except I'm cold 🤣. I would really like to do the actual Circle Tour some day. Maybe in the RV. It's really cold up here 😁.

Day 24
Presque Isle
June 14, 2021 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 63 °F
It's nice spending the night at Walmart because you can wakeup and head for breakfast in the store. So McMuffins it was. No muss, no fuss.
Headed into downtown Marquette, but as is often the case, it was pretty quiet on a Monday morning. Shopped a bit and then visited the lighthouse (closed on Monday), walked the city trail along the lake and then drove out to Presque Isle park. This is pretty much a small peninsula of land that has a nice 3 mile one way drive (or walk) along the edge that has lots of nice view points and stops. Got to the Black Rocks area, which can be busy with kids jumping off the rocks into the lake. None today, it is Monday and fairly cool with cloudy overcast. But it looked very doable and fun. Hope to come back this summer with the Cobbs and try it out...we are about 250 miles from Traverse.Read more
Traveler You’d better not jump!! But if you do make sure that someone is taking your picture!!! 😁

Getting to enjoy more of Marquette was always something we wanted to do. It’s a fun town. Brewery stops and biking. Farmer’s Market and a little shopping too. A nice CG with a bike path to get you anywhere in town you need.Read more
