St. Ignace - Where Lake Michigan and Lake Huron Meet

In Wausau we drove up to the Rib Mountain and were enjoying the view from top, taking some photographs when a man got out of his pick up van came to us, flashed his Sheriff's badge. he then told us that we had not only driven up without buying a permit, but parked at a wrong place and made a traffic violation by making a U turn where none was allowed. He informed us that he has enough evidence to fine us and make us appear in the local court. Pleading our case as


innocent foreigners , we somehow wriggled ourselves out of the situation, got into our cars and proceeded to St. Ignace via Marinette and Escanaba. The museum at Marinette was closed but the loggers landmark of the horse cart loaded with logs and the surrounding park was very captivating.
At our next stop we visited a 1897 built lighthouse that in the bygone days assisted hundreds of ships to the port of Escanaba. Good weather and lovely waterfront but we had to get on our way.





Reaching at St. Ignace we were happy to get a room overlooking the lake from where I write this now. Later today we start on our last US leg to Port Huron to cross over the border back to Canada.


With best wishes,
