CROSSING THE BRIDGE AUGUST 4

Sunday and we're heading toward the 
Big Bridge and the lower peninsula

 Lake Michigan-beautiful day
 Almost there
 What?  We have to pay to cross!
This bridge opened in 1957





 Reconstructed Fort Michilimackinac
 We took the scenic road down the west coast of 
Michigan, thinking we would have a great view of the lake,
but it turned out to be a narrow one lane road, called
the Tunnel of Trees.
 Approaching cars got out of our way
No place to stop or turn around--had to keep going
 Low hanging trees caught equipment on Doras' roof
 There it is....Lake Michigan

 Nice farms along the way


Golf Course Harbor Springs Resort

 Coming into Harbor Springs

 Another quaint, busy resort town
 Hilda's


 Made it to Petoskey
view across Little Traverse Bay to Harbor Springs

 Kites flying at the park  ... 12 all total

 On the Pier
 Good Kite flying day

We stayed at Petoskey State Park
Lucked out again, got one of the last sites.

Tomorrow we travel south along the coast of west Michigan
