Day 2 - Pictured Rocks and the Middle of Nowhere

These are in reverse order, we actually went to Pictured Rocks first, but I was too lazy to organize better (sorry!) After waking up bright and early we left camp around 9am to get over to Munising, where Pictured Rocks are at...2 hours across the middle of nowhere! We did the boat ride (2.5 hours) with 3, make that 4 young children and my advice? Don't do it until everyone can fend for themselves! AUGH! No it was alright, a bit of a struggle to keep them entertained and make sure they didn't jump out the windows of the boat! Just after we got off the boat it started to sprinkle (oh joy!) Then it was off to find all the waterfalls that go along with the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, that was an adventure. It was rainy and should have been fun, but with 3 (4) young children, not so much! We ended up traveling on a dirt trail...not really even a road and lost our "leader" so kindof got stuck...but found our way, as I am here typing this. We made our way to Grand Marais, where Noelle knew someone...what in the world? That girl knows EVERYONE! (hehe) We ate lunch at a beautiful lakeside park (Uncle Danny wants to camp there next year!) After food, we were off to the log run. I will post those next, this was actually used to throw the logs down from the top of the hill to Lake Superior. There was a beautiful rainbow and a light house off in the distance (which is Au Sable Pt.) We met some rustic hikers (more power to them) who hiked all over the place! Yuck, I need running water, bathrooms and electric otherwise no camping for me! This day started around 9 am and ended after 10pm, the kids were DEAD! It was fun, but I think next time we will break it up into a couple days!!!
