Waterfall, waterfall, waterfall

Try saying that fast twelve times. Because there are twelve waterfalls here in the Munising area. We visited three yesterday--several are dry at this time of year and others are in the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore (not a state park, as I called it in my last blog) and accessible only by steep climbs and/or long hikes. The first that we saw was Wagner Falls, just south of town and a short hike back in the woods. It was very pretty with a brook that babbled away through the woods on its way to Lake Superior.

Next we stopped at Alger Falls--very nice but the only viewing is by parking on the shoulder along a busy road. It was difficult to see well or get good pictures.

Third, we went to Munising Falls on the west side of town. There's a nice visitor center there and a boardwalk and paved path back to the falls. It was a busy place. The falls are much higher than the Wagner Falls but not as much water.

There was a nice car show being held in downtown Munising so we walked around that for a bit and then stopped at Muldoon's for a pastie for lunch. Pasties, for those who haven't experienced them, are a convenience food brought here by the Cornish miners. It's basically a beef stew in a thick doughy crust, about the size of a Big Mac. They were large enough that we split one and had plenty. Quite good.

It had been cloudy off and on all day but after supper, the sun was trying to break out, and we walked down to the little beach area to see the sunset. About 40 or 50 other people in the campground had the same idea, so it was quite a crowd. And well worth it. This is a a city campground and quite nice.

Today, rain is moving in and we're hoping it will not interfere with our hookup and loading because we have a long drive to northern Wisconsin. We will be back in the Central Time Zone, so this time tomorrow won't be this time. We're headed to Copper Falls State Park and, yes, more waterfalls, waterfalls, waterfalls.
