Drive to Upper Peninsula of Michigan

We drove from Indian River through the Mackinac Bridge to Marquette, which is in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.   What a scenic drive!

Today, we woke up to pretty cool weather, drizzly and about mid 40s.    After about an hour's drive, it stopped raining but it was cold.

 

The Mackinac Bridge divides Lake Huron, on the right and Lake Michigan on the left.  This is a beautiful bridge and Lakes.

      

As we crossed into the Upper Peninsula, we saw a sign that read 50 degrees.  This is probably as warm as it got.

 

We made several scenic view stops; the first was to view the Mackinac Bridge from Lake Michigan's side.

This view point is above all the trees....

The Bridge in the far distance...

Back to the coach after a bunch of pictures are taken...

We enjoyed driving along Lake Michigan...

Another stop at a scenic view area....note the teepee.  This is a beautiful sight.

      

This is a Starcraft...never seen one like it.  Wonder what year it is and how long it is?

Our Third stop was for lunch at Mary's Garden Cafe and Bakery.

Beautiful flowers at this restaurant...

Lunch was really good and we walk back to the coaches.

They were having a farmers market across the street and we notice this Amish Family. 

Isn't this just beautiful?!

These seagulls are cold.  They are all on top of this building.

The Dogpatch....must be someone's dog house,huh?

Now we have reached Lake Superior!!!!   Now we have seen all of the Great Lakes.

It is pretty gusty out so the waves are just really beautiful.  Awesome Lake Superior.

We made several stops to take pictures....

We have reached our destination....pretty nice park.  Pictures below.

they have some beautifully etched stones.

The owner....kind of weird, too.

He guides us to the spot.
