Picture Rocks National Park cruise

We left St. Ignace yesterday morning in a light rain and drove 2 hours northwest to the top of the UP and got to Munising here with a beautiful sunny sky. We didn't have problems with the RV like we thought we would so the hook up and drive was really nice. One thing to do and put on your 'bucket' list of things to do before you die - do the drive along the top of Lake Michigan (and it's the southern shore of the Upper Peninsula) - it's absolutely stunning. I learned that from now on I need to keep a camera in the car to take pictures as we are driving.

Once we got here to the campground - different story. They first put us in a sight right at the water's edge - as a back in place - but our truck is too long and we couldn't maneuver the swing into the site. So, then we moved to another - only a dead tree limb was hanging down and would have scraped the top of the unit - so moved again. We still have a nice site although not full hookup - so have to monitor our water/waste output.
Not sure of the weather so we decided to do the evening/sunset cruise that goes out on Lake Superior and see the Picture Rocks. Absolutely stunning! Got back to the site at 10:30 and it was still light out. Today will are going into the park and do lots of hiking. You cannot see the rocks from the park so we are glad we did this cruise. One of the places we want to go in the park is Beaver Lake which was formed by beavers and is the largest natural - made lake in the US.
