If you have more time head north to Mackinaw City - Historic Mill Creek - very interesting about lumbering there in 1790's. Colonial Michilimackinac - at the base of the 5 mile bridge to Michigan upper Peninsula.
UPPER PENINSULA - Sault St. Marie boat ride of locks US & Canada.
WHITE FISH POINT (north) -Lighthouse & beach (look for Agates (rocks - get a book) on the beach) If you stay at Paradine eat at "Fish House" - fresh fish $6.95, owner catches, fillets & serves great fried or grilled. Looks like a little fast food but it isn't!
TAHQUAMENON - Upper & lower falls State Park Pictured Rock Natl. Lakeshore - near Munising (Take the boat ride). Driving Hi. 2 along North Shore of Lake Michigan going back to the bridge - notice -Pasties (spelled right - no- r) at every place to eat. Try one.
THUMB AREA - Saginaw Bay, Lake Huron, Alpena - Presque Isle (nearly an island) Old (1840) & New (1870) Lighthouses (1 mile apart). Notice names of towns like Mesick-Winyah..
TAWAS CITY - Huron National Forest, Tawas Point State Park, Large Springs-Au Sable River
Lumberman's Monument, Sand Lakes, Camel Road, Chef's Table -delicious baked goods (pies, bread, etc.
BAY CITY - Beautiful homes & churches (Hi. 25) The thumb is beautiful farm ground. Drive around the top of thumb Pt. Aux Barques - Port Hope Lighthouse.
You can tell we like to see things and love Natl. & State Parks. We love to eat at new places & in different area's where you find food of a country the people in the area's ancestor's came to America from. Some you'll like and some you might not but what the heck you at least tryed it and can get a burger down the road. I, myself never found anything I didn't enjoy eating. Thanks to my mom & dad that made me eat at least one spoonful of anything my mother sat on the table. Some I thought was awful then, is my favorite now in my second childhood (or adult). Hope you go this summer and this will help you have fun!!!
