Our original plans to hike in Pictured Rocks was nixed. Dave wasn't feeling up to par - so we opted to just go to the Ranger Park station, get literature on the park, do some grocery shopping and then head back to the campground. Weather is very cool - but for the Yoopers, this is typical for summer. Gets down to 50 at night, yesterday's high was 71. Since Munising is in a protected bay of Lake Superior, the winds are usually from the land onto the water. Still brisk. Then by 6ish pm the winds die, then reverse from the lake. Brrr. People around us have their furnaces on at night, we instead just close everything down and put an extra blanket on.
We are enjoying sitting at the beach and staring out at life. A couple of things we noted - it stays light very late here. I checked sunrise/sunset - sunrise is same as Vermilion - about 5:54am. But sunset is 45 minutes later! No wonder some of these campers with small children are still running around at 10:15pm. It really doesn't get dark until 10:45. Another thing we noticed - lack of sea birds and ducks. Since the lake is so clean - wonder if that's got anything to do with it.
Today we will definitely go hiking at Beaver Lake within the park. There is a falls that we want to go to that during the cruise we didn't see.
