Tom & Sharol,
We are at Lakeshore RV Park on the UP of Michigan in St. Ignace for the season. If you have not been to Whitefish Point up there on the northern side of the UP it is a good place to take in. They have the Great Lakes Ship Wreck Museum and a lighthouse which chronicles Lake Superior ship wrecks, including the famed Edmund Fitzgerald. We drove up there for the day last years when we were on the UP. If you have time to get over to Sault St. Marie to see the Soo Locks, and take the boat trip through the locks. The boat trip takes you through the U.S. Locks then circles around and goes back through the Canadian Locks. The Canadian Locks were there before the American one. Also, in St. Ignace is the 21 storey Tower of History where you can get some great pics of the locks, the St. Mary's river and Canada on the other side On a good day one can see about 30 miles. Across the street is the Museum Ship Valley Camp. It was worth going through the ship and seeing their maritime artifacts.
AND, if that is not enough, right across the border on the Canadian side in Sault Ste. Marie, Canada, is the Bush Plane Museum. Talk about a great place to visit, it has some neat old bi-planes and some vintage cars. That is one place where you will need at least two to three hours.
Of course to me the best part about visiting Saul Ste. Marie and St. Ignace are the casinos. And before I forget, every Friday from 4 to 7 p.m. the VFW in Sault Ste. Marie has an all you can eat fish fry. One of the locals who owns a fishing boat and a restaurant donates the fresh white fish each week for their fund raiser. You cannot get fish any fresher than they serve. They also sell tickets for a Split the Pot raffle for $1.00 The little ladies in the auxiliary make the pies and cakes for desert which is included.
