Munising MI / Picture Rocks Boat Cruise
Odometer: 8030.2
Spent last night at the local KOA and fell asleep to the sounds of torrential rain on the roof. First order of business this morning – check on Mothers’ health status. Stephanie, her Nurse, assured me that Mother is better today. Temp dropped from 101.8 to 98 and she is more alert. We were encouraged to continue our trip and call later in the day. Drove to Munising a lovely town bordering Lake Superior and got a campsite at a city campground called City of Munising Tourist Park Campground right on the banks of Lake Superior. What a view!!!! Today is much cooler
then we have experienced with heavy cloud cover and strong winds. Took a three-hour boat tour on Lake Superior 
to
Pictured Rocks. 
Despite the cold and wind it was a great tour and beautiful scenery. Then it was on to the tiny little town of Christmas where the stores are decorated all year. VERY, VERY tiny town of Christmas with 2 storefronts decorated. Back to the
campground to have dinner and enjoy the view before taking off to Copper Harbor 200 miles west of here. Called to check on Mother and she is doing a little better, out of bed and eating, temp still down. It was overcast, windy and chilly most of the day and really got cold in the evening. Ron was hoping for a shot at a sunset over Lake Superior but it didn’t look promising. Around 9 PM the sun came out in all it’s glory and by 10:15 PM Ron got the picture of the best and most beautiful sunset we have ever seen. 
Did I mention that the sun actually sets between 10 and 10:30 PM? Still haven’t grown accustom to all the daylight hours.
