20161004: Newberry, Lighthouse, 2 Waterfalls

Started out at 9:40.  Drove east through part of Newberry. Went to a great light house but had to drive on packed sand road for about 20 miles. Stopped once and photographed mushrooms for over an hour. Crisp Point Lighthouse was great - climbing the 93 steps to the top gave a great view of coast. Got good pictures of that part of Lake Superior and the beaches around it. Beaches were full of great beach rocks (we even have some to bring home. Ate the best fish and chips lunch at Brown's Fisheries in Paradise, MI. Quilt shop next door had different fabrics and new patterns to try. Explored Lower and Upper Tahquamenon (rhymes with phenomenon) Falls. Falls were good but water is brown caused by tannins leached from cedar swamps upstream. Came back through another part of Newberry. Home about 6:30. Ate dinner and watched a video on ship Edmond Fitzgerald which sank in Lake Superior 41 years ago.

Another fun but long day.
