View of the sandstone cliffs along Lake Superior........
Off in the distance are the Huron Islands....a group of about 7 outcroppings of rock - 3 of which are larger.
This lighthouse sits on one of the larger ones....we have talked about being lighthouse keepers sometime, but this place wouldn't be one I'd choose ! It's a long way up to it !
In Keeweenaw Bay there were sailboats out. This one looked especially pretty against the red sandstone cliffs.
This lighthouse is at the entrance to the Keeweenaw Waterway which is a canal that cuts through the thumb of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
A view of the waterway as we entered.
There were many large beautiful homes along the waterway but this one was especially interesting. Nearby was an older farmhouse so we suspect this barn was part of that farm earlier. It had a nice dock on the water and a portable sauna close by.
Just a pretty sailboat with spinnaker which made Bob a little reminicent about sailing again.....
Here we were approaching Houghton-Hancock with Michigan Tech buildings on the left.
After docking, we found a nice restaurant to enjoy a Sunday meal followed by a walk over the bridge. When we were back at the boat, this tall ship which we saw in Sault Ste. Marie on Friday, went by. Someone has told us that there will be a total of 12 tall ships in Duluth from the 28th July to August 3rd. It will be interesting to see them all together--if there is a spot big enough for them !
