The most wonderful day....on to Michigan

Saxon Harbor and Lake Superior County Park (still in WI)

Little Girl Point Beach - Michigan
The site of the legend of the mythical Ojibwa maiden who became lost in the "Great Forest" on her wedding day.  She was later seen here with her lover.  For centuries this cape was a rest area for lake travelers between the Apostle Islands and the Porcupine Mountains - Ontonagon region.


One of the campsites at Little Girl Point campground provides a natural table.  The size of this fallen giant was awesome.



Just a touch of color over in the Porcupine  mountains

Superior Falls - at the mouth of the Montreal River
Lake Superior Cliffs Battle Site
The location of a major naval battle between the Ojibwa and Foxes in the mid-1600s.  Before dawn a raiding party of 400 Foxes kidnapped four Ojibwa women from Madeline Island, were silently pursued in the fog by Ojibwa warriors, overtaken at the base of the cliffs and annihilated.


 Can you spot the "inukshuk"?

The stairs we did not use to go up from the base of the Superior Falls site on the Montreal River.
