We left Dot's today and headed across the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. We're pretty sure we saw a wolf cross the road, about halfway between Ironwood and Marquette. It looked pretty healthy, but then the deer we saw cross the road a little earlier looked pretty healthy, too, so we think those mammals just grow bigger up here.
Our primary stop was the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum at Whitefish Point, MI. What we found out during this visit was that, right around the time of our first visit there 12 years ago, divers were recovering the bell from the Edmund Fitzgerald which sank near here with 29 souls in 1975.
Later we hugged the shore of Whitefish Bay on our way to Sault Ste. Marie. I remembered a great small casual seafood restaurant where we ate 12 years ago. We found it near Iroquois Light and ate there again! We met the owner, who just came in from his boat and enjoyed sharing the history of his family and the restaurant. Stuffed, we left there and headed on to Sault Ste. Marie.
At the locks we got to see three ships pass through in front of us within about an hour, and then retired (quite late) to our hotel on the American side.
