A little on Marquette MI and Pictured Rocks

When is Larry going to update your blog?
We left the Superior/Duluth area and made our way to Gwinn MI which is about 30 minutes south of Marquette. We choose Gwinn as our base because the county/city Tourist Park was full hookup 50A for $20/night. But it was a Passport America also so we only paid $10/night and there were no restrictions on the number of days the discount was good for.

While there we visited Pictured Rocks and took a boat tour on July 4th and made our way through the local celebration.  Then drove to Munising Falls area and took the walk to the falls.

After returning to the coach to feed and walk Logan we went to Marquette to visit with Brian and Brenda who also winter at Sun-N-Fun and we met playing pickleball. We had a very nice visit and dinner before going to the Marina to watch fireworks from their boat. We didn't go out but had a nice time sitting on the dock and taking in the activities at the local park.

You may or may not know that Marquette is on the western edge of the eastern time zone SOOOO it isn't dark until about 10:30, well after the east coast fire works are over.

We went to several museums and tourist attractions as well as KI Sawyer AFB which is now deactivated. It was a SAC base back in the day.

One of the more interesting places was Da Yoopers Tourist Trap, better than Wall. Look at the pictures in the proceeding link.
