Although we started the day under big clouds with various shades of gray, we were able to ride into bright skies for the entire day. However, according to the US TV weather commentators "a cold front from Canada has moved in". The temperature dropped by about 20 F for us overnight...from almost 90F on Sun into the 50-60's today.
Today, we saw many more trees that have changed colours on our drive through the Michigan UP.
We fueled up in a small village called Christmas and yes, there were a few shops devoted to the Christmas theme. We saw a large flock of wild turkeys on the side of the road. I tried to take a picture but they moved faster than I did.
We saw 2 of the Great Lakes today- Lake Superior and Lake Michigan. Both lakes are beautiful to view but also, different. There were lots of waves on Lake Superior and the sun was setting on a calmer Lake Michigan.
We are planning to head across the Mackinaw Bridge tomorrow.
regards to all,
Anne
Riding into Marquette with Lake Superior straight ahead
Lake Superior with dramatic waves rollling in
Stopping to enjoy Lake Superior
Passing a "torch run"
A beautiful entrance to a golf course along the way
Then, riding along northern Lake Michigan
--- with beautiful shorelines
--- and a wonderful sunset
