Tahquamenon Falls Day!

We were alittle late getting on the road today because I woke up with a migraine and it took me some time to get it under control.  We did leave the CG by 11:00 and headed to the Paradise area stopping at the Point Iroquois Lighthouse.  You could actually climb the 72 stairs to the top and then see the Living Room and Kitchen of the lighthouse keepers home.  They also had a very nice gift shop and it was all by donation.

On to the Pendills Creek Fish Hatchery where they produce more than 6 million eggs annually and right now they have about 11/2 million 6 month old trout that they are raising.  They will be used later to stock Lake Superior.

From there we headed to Tahquamenon Falls State Park to hike to the Lower Falls and then the Upper Falls.  The trails were so nice and the falls were beautiful.  The "boys" enjoyed a beer at the Brewery and Pub at the entrance to the park.

We stopped at Wal-Mart on the way back to pick up a few groceries.  Besides the Farmers Market, this is only the 1st time we did some food shopping since leaving home.  Wow!

We cooked ribs over an open fire and as per usual, we only had dinner around 8:45.  Maybe it was breakfast, I'm really not sure!  Got to see several freights go by the CG this evening either leaving the locks or heading there.

Finally saw a moose up close and personal!

Another fun day!

This deer was right along the fence
where everyone walked by!  No fear!
