Day 13: I woke up on Day 13 eager to continue my exploration of Mackinac Island. But almost immediately, my legs felt very tired and weak. It seems all the walking I’ve been doing on this trip had finally caught up with me. I pondered … Continue reading Michigan 2024 Trip Report (the final two days)
Day 11: Last time we met, I told you that the only way you can see the Pictured Rocks themselves is from the waters of Lake Superior.
