As we prepared to make the short drive this morning to our weeklong stay in Wisconsin's Northwoods, we determined that we a good choice for a grocery stop might be the Sunday Lake Supermarket in the town of Wakefield, Michigan just a couple miles down the road. It was...

Sky Bar Reprise
Tonight is the last of four one night stops this week. We stayed here at Big Snow Ski Resort near Wakefield MI last year on a Friday night. That time we were among several Harvest Hosts guests. Tonight we are the lone camper and have a prime spot in the shade with...

Sky Bar at Big Snow
An overnight last night at the Hayward KOA Holiday at Hayward, Wisconsin afforded us the opportunity to get laundry done. Then today we headed just a little bit north and east into the far west of the Upper Peninsula just over the Wisconsin border. Home tonight is Big...
Pasties in Wakefield
As we left Presque Isle we set our sights on finding a Pastie (pass-tee) before leaving Michigan. And success was ours in Wakefield. We saw a sign for Randall Bakery Pasties on our way into town and followed the signs, deviating from our plan to turn right onto US-2....

A Superior Sunset
Presque Isle Campground on the western edge of Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park in Michigan is home for us tonight. When we pulled in, Scott at the ranger station made sure we understood that this is a rustic campground then refused to assign us a spot but...

Michigan Iron Industry Museum
Not far from Marquette is the Michigan Iron Industry Museum in Negaunee. After hearing about it yesterday from a ranger at Munising Falls, we just had to stop. We got a bonus. The first gallery near the entrance was
Marquette Tourist Park
Marquette Tourist Park west of Pictured Rocks offered a good place to rest our heads last night. We arrived without a reservation but still got Site 43 with electric, water, shade, and soon rain. We were grateful for good Verizon service and spent some time on the...
