KITCH-ITI-KIPI

 We visited a place recommended by our Michigan friends called "Kitch-iti-kipi" by the Ojibwa Indians or Big Spring located in Palms Book State Park near Manistique.
Michigan's largest spring is 200ft across and 45 feet deep. Over 10,000 gallons a minute gush from fissures in the underlying limestone.
By means of a covered self operated observation raft we propelled ourselves across the spring and saw the fascinating underwater world full of fat trout through the viewing panel in the middle of the raft. Cool or what! Made it more fun as we were the only ones there to play.

PASTIE PIGS!

 Camped at Fayette Historic State Park and spent a sunny afternoon wandering around the historic townsite of Fayette (1867-1891)
Set around the pretty Snail Shell Harbor, Fayette was once one of the Upper Peninsula's most productive iron-smelting operations.
