We have left Wisconsin, and did we have a good time there?Oh, you betcha!
We're in Gladstone, Michigan; a small town in the Upper Peninsula or U.P.
People who live here refer to themselves as "Yoopers".
Since we will live here three days I suppose we are "Yoopettes."
The lighthouse is a short distance from our campground via a bike path running along Lake Michigan. The campground's in a beautiful setting, but the weather is not cooperating with me.
Check out the overcast sky and wind. It's in the low 60's with a mighty brisk breeze. This was a day better suited to riding around in the truck.
This is in the next little town, Escanaba. It's named for the Escanaba River, mentioned in the poem "Song of Hiawatha" by Longfellow.
The above lighthouse has a flagpole made from a tree trunk.
Another angle of the Sand Point Lighthouse.
What was so charming only a few weeks ago has now become mundane, so few lighthouse photos will be taken from now on.
Click on the above photo and you may be able to read that this once belonged the the Chicago Fire department. It's sitting in a field way off the beaten path in Escanaba, Michigan with no signs or information of any kind.
