Minnesota Trip

We left home in June and headed for Tamarac National Wildlife Refuge near Detroit Lakes Minnesota. Pat and I stopped in Ohio to visit Pat's sister, and then went to Decatur Indiana to visit with some of Pat's family and friends that we think of as family.  From there we traveled up through the UP of Michigan and came across two neat old lighthouses.



Continuing North we arrived at Sault Ste Marie Michigan which is at the border of Canada and the US. Sault Ste Marie is the home of the famous Sault Ste Marie Locks where large ships transit from Lake Superior to Lake Huron and vice versa.


There was also a really interesting hydro-electric power plant between the campground and the locks.


 This old house with the widows walk on top probably belonged to a ships captain.

Great pictures! Glad to see you posting again. Where are you now? We are leaving northern Indiana today for doctor appointments and points south, ending in Mission, Texas.
