20161006: Lake Huron

After being loaded to the gills with all sorts of good things to eat, we left our wonderful host home at 8:30. We traveled in light fog as we drove along the top of Lake Michigan. Crossed the Mackinac Bridge and  began our way down the west side of Lake Huron. Visited the Cheboygan Lighthouse. Further down the road we stopped at 40 Mile Lighthouse; which is a  working lighthouse. Great stop. Went a little further to Rogers City, ate some lunch at a park and went to the Great Lakes Lore Maritime Museum. Fascinating place that is dedicated to people who served on ships. Great place. And the museum host gave us some useful information about Nova Scotia - when we finally get there. Rogers City is also home to the world's largest limestone mine. We drove to that and took some pictures-impressive. Arrived in Birch Run, MI about 6:30. Traveled less than 300 milesI and are still in Michigan . At this rate we won't be back to Oregon until 2017😃
