Leaving MI - Into Wisconsin

Yes we just couldn't resist stopping. With a picture like this how could we? That is Bill and John, by the way. It was an interesting tour by the way. Took about 45 minutes and we got to wear raincoats and hard hats. That made a pretty picture, but I got paid off not to publish them.
It was a pretty drive from the "Soo" to Iron Mt. across the U.P.

We are staying in a PP campground here in Two Rivers. It is a very nice area and close to the pennisula. We drove the pennisula one day and it was very touristy, but the cherry season was on and Bill, Marilyn and John all got sick tasting cherries. I had no idea there was so many ways to fix them.
On the way home we spotted a lady selling corn and tomatoes! Had to make a u-turn and was it worth it. She said her grandfather had grown the tomatoes $1.50 lb (worth every bite). As it turned out the corn was very good, also.


This is Lake Superior, in the distance is the town of Manitowoc about 5 miles from 2 rivers. They (whoever they are) have made a wonderful sidewalk that follows the coast of the lake and also made beach access.
This is John enjoying the view of the lake.

My planning on this part of the trip hasn"t been successful. We were going to watch the Packers practice today and didn't discover until yesterday that they have MOnday off!. A bakery that had tours, quit them in Jan. Kholer faucet factroy has a tour, but is 3 miles long! Didn't mention that in the book.
But the park we are in is right by the West River and it is very inviting to just sit by it and enjoy the sunsets.
We try the Packers tomorrow (Tuesday), but Brett Fauve is suppose to be there, so we might not get w/in 3 miles of the place. Then Wednesday we move to Milwaukee for 3 days.
Will let you know about the Packer odyssey(had to ask John to spell that one).

Hi guys,

Nice post. Glad you are having so much fun. Love to have some of the cherries you've been able to buy. Here we can rarely get any really good fresh vegetables. Miss the good produce and meats at TTH.

Tell me something? What the heck is John doing under the SUV?

All well here. Audrey doing great after her recent medical tests.

Too hot here for man or beast. Need rain and cooler temps. Send each our way.

Have you been reading the Whitley blog.
