Hello from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, specifically Marquette. We spent this week finishing our time at Great Lakes Naval Station (north of Chicago) and ending up in Marquette. The following pics show our week:
Driving through Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Spending the night at Oneida Casino in Green Bay, Wisconsin. We had to visit Lambeau Field in Green Bay.
Thursday morning we drove across the river into the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Our parking place for the rest of the week was at the city park in Marquette.
Crossing into the UP
Our first view of Lake Superior
Marquette Tourist Park and our spot for three nights.
We had lots of fun in the UP including a trip to Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore and a hike on Sugarloaf Mountain near Marquette.

Lake Superior in the background.
The color of the water is beautiful.
Lake Superior is the largest of the Great Lakes. The water in Lake Superior is enough to cover the lower 48 states to a depth of five feet.
Thank you for checking in with us. We now turn south, back through Wisconsin, with a short stay in Madison and then on to Springfield, Illinois for a visit to Lincoln's tomb.
Hey Roger and Suzanne,
ReplyDeleteLooks like you are still having a great time exploring the country(s). We just turned 12,500 miles on our Unity last week. Enjoy your time at USAFA and if you need a driveway to plug into on your way down to TX, shoot us an email. We should be around for the next couple of weeks.
