This morning, I explored the rugged shore of Presque Isle outside of Marquette, MI:

I then headed west, checking out a waterfall along the way:

I couldn’t resist this tourist trap:

I drove north onto the Keweenaw Peninsula to visit Keweenaw National Historical Park, which preserves the history of Michigan’s Copper industry:

I then headed south to overnight at the Walmart of Houghton, MI.  See the trip map for today’s drive.

After dumping and filing at the casino, I drove west to Kitch-iti-Kipi, Michigan’s largest freshwater spring. A hand-cranked raft traverses the 200-foot length of the spring while looking down through 40 feet of remarkably clear water.

I then drove north to visit the waterfalls and variegated cliff shore of Lake Superior at Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore:

I’m overnighting at a grocery store in nearby Munising, MI.  See the trip map for today’s drive.
