The plan was to make it to the upper peninsula of Michigan when we left the family reunion. We only made it 25 miles and said what the heck, lets stay in Ashland, Wisconsin. The city has a beautiful campground rite on Lake Superior.

The view from our campsite was spectacular.

This is an iron ore dock in Ashland, They are tearing it down because it is no longer used. When I was a kid we used to watch iron ore freighters load here.

The dock is about 80 years old.

Finally made it to Michigan, the weather has been great.

Indian country

Falls on the Presque Isle River in Porcupine Mtn. wilderness state park.

We spent three days hiking and sightseeing in the park. The forest here was beautiful.

A little overcast but nice.

Music festival at Porcupine Mtn. ski hill. The festival was kind of a bust for us. We decided that we are not too much of fans of folk music. Some was good but, the people watching was great.

This was one of the better groups

Wonder what this guy was smokin.

Upper Peninsula hottie's dancing at the festival.

Our camp sight at the Porkies was great.
