Tahquamenon Falls and Munising, Michigan...

Since we were in Whitefish Bay at a town called Paradise, we needed some lunch and what would be better than Whitefish....?  So we found a fresh fish market where they actually returned from the lake with the fish...

You couldn't go back where they were processing the fish and the whole building was more than a little dreary, but we went in the front where they had a restaurant serving fish and chips...  But not like anything you ever had at Long John Silvers........   It was just a basket of battered deep fried white fish and some fries under it...  Fresh tartar and a little cup of cole slaw..  For $10.99..

The place was a dump, so I didn't take any pictures, but we gobbled it right down...

Next we went to Tahquamenon Falls State Park....  It was West of Paradise about 15 miles or so to the upper falls....   It again costs money to enter Michigan's State Parks, so after $8.40 for a day pass, we got to enter and park in a really big parking area at the head of the trail to the falls...  Web Site

It was a tad over a half of a mile down hill to this falls on a blacktop trail..  There were benches every now and then and I found out what they were for on the way back......

The water is colored from Tannic acid.  Seems that much of the flora in the woods decays and the run off is brown with the acid...  It doesn't hurt the fish according to the reader board at the falls...

Zoomed out, the falls was quite a bit below where I was taking the pictures, and at the end of the trail, was a 94 step staircase to go to a lower platform...  And in my pre surgery days, I would have been right down there taking pictures, but not any more....

About a five mile drive back to the first gate we passed, is the Lower Falls...  The river splits and goes over two different falls...  This was the Eastern side..

The West side had more of a tide pool below the falls which was off in the distance... You could rent row boats to paddle over to a closer viewing point...

I stayed at the first viewing area as Loyce wasn't interested in a row boat tour...

After that we had about a two hour drive back into Soo...

Today, we packed up the MH and went to the dump station...  We had been three nights on our tanks which filled the gray water mostly up...  I was using the shower house at the city park.... which was quite new and really nice..

After dumping we, we drove out to the shopping center South of downtown and hooked up the car....  There is a really nasty hill on the truck route out from the campground..  But we stayed disconnected and drove South on the Business route 75 which has a smaller hill...

We drove over much of the same territory that we were on yesterday, past the turnoff for the falls...

We arrived here in Munising, Michigan about 2:30 and had a fiasco finding the RV Park...  Our GPS drove us right by the entrance pointing to a spot farther down the road...

Since that didn't work, I hooked up the tablet computer and found that Google thought it was on the West side of the town....  So we drove out there......!  No campground.....!!

So I had to buckle to my pride and call them....  Which the lady explained that the GPS' were all wrong and they were back three miles from town on the East side...  By then I had unhooked the car in order to turn around in a side street.. Loyce was following looking all over too...

Once here, it all seemed normal as we rented the site... but it was back in the wooded area behind the office....  No one led us back to our site, but going really slowly, I found it....

And it was totally in the dark trees... And the site was all sandy dirt....  I started my routine to set up, and found that the power pole was out by the road at the front of the site in front of our windshield about ten feet..   While the sewer was 40 feet behind the rig...  And the water was a shared spigot on the next site over.....

I don't carry an extension for the 50 amp cord, as they are horribly expensive when you can find one...  In all of our camping, this is the first time we were just totally out of luck...  The cord on the coach is about 25 feet long, and the extensions they sell are usually only about 20 feet more...  We couldn't have reached even with the extension...

I searched for another site, and jotted down several numbers.......  but back up at the office they were all rented....  But back out by the road, there are some new sites with 50 amp and sewer...  So we are enjoying the traffic of the main highway across Upper Michigan tonight...

Why are we doing this???  This is where the main boat tours go out on Superior for Pictured Rocks....  Which we hope to do tomorrow or the next day...
