JULY 3rd and 4th

Thursday morning July 3rd found us crossing the Mackinac Bridge into the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. We continued North to Sault St.Marie and made our border crossing in to Canada. They required a complete inspection of the truck and trailer. We must have looked like "sketchy"characters!

That completed, we were on our way to Lake Superior Provincial Park on the east side of Lake Superior and the Agawa Bay campground. Our campsite was just feet away from the shoreline, giving us a beautiful view of the ocean-like lake.(Lake Superior is 350 miles long and 150 miles wide). We had amazing sunsets!

We had a breathtaking hike on the Sand River Trail. There were a series of waterfalls and cascades over a 3 mile area.

We also hiked to the edge of the lake and viewed the Agawa pictographs, as well as hiking to Orphan Lake with views of Lake Superior beyond.

We did miss having fireworks on the Fourth, but would not have traded the sites we saw.
