Day 51: Lovely morning at Indian Lake State Park, Manistique, MI. We
talked to a man who owed a converted sprinter van, a couple who lived in
Anacortes, WA, and a woman riding her bicycle from Detroit, MI to
Ironwood, WI. Kevin and John talked to a man who stopped them as they
were riding out of the park. There's s lot of nice people everywhere we
go. Janut, Bob and I drove up to the Palm Books State Park to see the
Kitch-iti-kipi "The Big Spring". It's Michigan's large
st
freshwater spring (400 feet across and 40 feet deep, and a constant
45*F all year long). It is crystal clear, stocked with trout and on the
bottom you can see the water wells erupting from the bedrock of
limestone and sand. It was cool awesome! Janut, Bob and I rode on the
tow rope raft that had the middle of it open so you can see underneath
it (like an observation window, but without the glass). Afterwards we
drove into Manistique, had lunch at Big Boy's, and walked to the 35 foot
tall lighthouse at the mouth of the Manistique River on Lake Michigan.
Manistique has a 2 mile Boardwalk, but we ran outta time to walk it.
The boys rode like the wind and beat us to Epoufette, WI, so they hung
out at the Cut River Inn until we got there. We got the primo spot at
the Epoufette Bay Campground (Lake Michigan) with a shoreline view (we
have the campground all to ourselves), a couple of large white swans
were swimming off shore. There's also an artesian well where water is
constantly flowing out of the spigot. We made a yummy dinner of
chicken, chick pea, veggie coconut curry over rice, enjoyed cherry pie,
and another beautiful sunset. The waves sound like we're at the ocean
and the stars are incredible. A wonderful spot...except for the
mosquitoes that came out at dusk...once again we are thankful for
Kevin's man sewn screen. by Jo
