July 28 - 29 Sleeping Bear Dunes
Joanne and Sunny Rae headed home and Brenda had things to do today so we were on our own on Friday, and the weather was perfect for kayaking Lake Michigan.
One of the Manitou Islands
Remains of the pier that served the town of Glen Haven
Lighthouse on South Manitou
The water was delightful after a 6 mile paddle
Cage to protect a piping plover nest
Lovely rocks
Saturday we joined back up with Brenda for a personal tour of the Pierce Stocking Scenic Drive
Glen Lake
Love the clouds reflected in Lake Michigan
The warning
Yet, despite the sign...
Ended the day with ice cream in homemade waffle cones
No photos, but the family camping next to us was a single mom with her early teen daughter and young son. She pulled in behind us to get wood at a roadside spot, then again when we were registering for our campsite, and then it turned out she was in the site beside us, so we all joked that she was a stalker. Her son was sweet and friendly - asking his mom for permission to come say good morning each day. Mom is a ICU nurse in Ohio - I can't begin to imagine her last few years during COVID, made worse by the end of her marriage. She was so patient and respectful in her interactions with her kids. We had a lovely visit with her.
