Summer Trip Day #3 – A Mediocre Day

            You may recall that two weeks ago, while on vacation inthe UP, Hubby took a tumble and ended up in the ER. I thought we should end ourvacation then, but we decided that we could sit around the Airbnb as well as wecould sit around at home.

            So, Thursday morning, after I made pancakes forbreakfast, Hubby convinced me to take a ride with the dog for a couple hourswhile he relaxed alone.

            I drove up to Grand Marais, a cute little town along LakeSuperior. On a sunny day it would have been an intriguing place to explore, butalas, the clouds, which were in the sky when I left the house, opened up andset down the showers.

Hannahand I still walked around a little bit. Had to get a picture in front of thePickle Barrell House Museum, which was unfortunately closed that day.

Nextwe headed over to Sable Falls. Had the weather been better, I might have triedthe hike down and back up, but I just wasn’t feeling it.

Onthe way back to the Airbnb, I ran across this little rest area. Not sure ifthey plan on fixing up this place or not, but I thought it was cool.

Wegot back to the house and had something to eat for lunch. Then I convincedHubby to take a short ride with me. He was feeling pretty good, and I told himwe would take it easy. Also, the weather had become more acceptable.

Inthe tiny tourist town of Germfask is Northland Outfitters and Campground alongthe Manistique River. A walk past the campsites and cabins takes you to Bennythe Beard Fischer, who is a wooden troll created by artist Thomas Dambo in2023.

Veryunique.

Wedrove back to the house about half an hour later and settled in for the night.Not quite the day I had planned, but it was an okay day anyway.
