Old Mission Peninsula

As a benefit of the recent time change here in northern Michigan we are able to take advantage of one more hour of daylight in the evenings. 

 A tour of Old Mission Peninsula was in order.

  It's been a while since I was last out there and it was great to visit again.

It's such breathtaking country how can you beat being surrounded by water on three sides

Liam and Audrey

Just a few images I was able to grab of my niece Audrey and my nephew Liam at a family gathering this past weekend.

Don't you just want to take em' both home.

Here's Liam as a Tyranosaurus Rex, he's a GRRRRRRREAT character actor

Summer Vacation To Canada

I was reminded recently of a trip my wife Ann and I took to a lesser know place in Canada called A-Ga-Wa Bay.  It's part of the Lake Superior Provincial Park in Ontario and is located on the eastern most part of the largest fresh water lake in the world, Lake Superior.  The wind was crazy, the waves coming off the lake were about eight feet tall. 

We drove from our hometown of Elk Rapids through the Upper Peninsula, past Sault Saint Marie, following the shoreline past Batchawana Bay, finally arriving at the A-Ga-Wa Bay campground.

The whole trip was about 5 or 6 hours in total.  There were so many amazing sights to see along the way not mention the scenery once we arrived within the park.

This place is extremely difficult to get to unless you have a 4x4 or are willing to abuse your car.

It is called Gargantua and is a small bay totally secluded and remote and can only be seen in person to describe it's splendor.  I can't wait to get back for more.
