For all our southern friends and family - you would not believe how cool it gets in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan in June. Brrrrrr!
We traveled from Houghton to Marquette on Sunday, a trip of 85 miles.
The weather was cool, cloudy, but the winds were calm. Although the sun never broke through the clouds, we were able to view some spectacular sights along the way. All in all, a great trip.

Today, June 22 (the 2nd full day of summer) it is 50 degrees, a little breezy, and has been raining all day. However, we both had a number of "projects" to do on the boat to keep us busy and were still able to walk into town to do some shopping and sightseeing between rain intervals. We had actually forgotten how much fun we had exploring new surroundings especially when the weather forces you to stay in one place longer than expected. We got the bikes out and, in spite of the misty rain, took Lucas to see some sights.

Because of the unseasonal cool weather, along with rain and wind, we have decided to stay in Marquette until Saturday, travel 45 miles to a marina in Munising (which is surrounded by Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore), then leave Sunday for a long day of travel and lock through the Sault Ste. Marie locks into the St. Mary's River and Canada. The weather is predicted to return to normal starting this weekend with highs in the mid 70's and clear skies allowing us to see many of the picturesque shorelines between here and the locks. We are looking forward to putting our fleece sweaters and rain gear away for awhile.
