Onward to Whitefish Point

Big Fitz went down near there.

We traveled to Newberry MI and stayed at North Country Campground. From here we planed to visit the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum at Whitefish Point, Tahquamenon Falls, and Crisp Point Lighthouse.

After we got set up at the cg we found that there was a newmar Fulltimers chapter rally also at the campground. We did meet a few of them but didn't see much of them as we had our own agenda.

Our first outing was to the falls. We had to pay $9 to get in the state park or we could have paid $30 for an annual pass. We opted for the $9 since we didn't think we would get to more than 3 parks on this trip. I did take the stairs to the bottom of the gorge so I could take some pictures. Something like 160 steps down and 320 back. Pictures are here and I will let them speak to what we saw.

Next was off to Whitefish Point. This is a well done museum but it was very busy the day we were there. Just to crowded in the actual museum that had the artifacts of various wrecks. They really need bigger space.

The tour of the grounds was very interesting with the usual life saving station displays. You had to pay extra to tour the lighthouse but I did that. They only allowed about 8 at a time to do the climb. I don't remember the number of steps and the view wasn't that good because it was very overcast. Check out our pictures.

Next up was Crisp Point. What a drive, see the driving directions. This was really fun in the Jeep. Man you are in the woods, no cell service, not much in the way of other traffic although we did meet a couple of vehicles, on a turn of course. If you get there and want a really neat experience take the drive. Some Pictures.
