Copper Harbor

On Thursday July 7th, we packed up and headed northwest & north again!!! Our final destination = our friend Nate's wedding in Copper Harbor. What a beautiful drive!!! We actually saw a bear run across the road in front of the Byers'!!!! We stayed at Lake Fanny Hoe Campground. It was small but quiet and relaxing.



The girls relaxing in the camper!!!


We drove to the top of Brockway Mountain on Friday morning and the view was absolutely breath taking. It was a little foggy that morning so we were not able to see Lake Superior.



After Brockway Mtn. we decided to drive down US 26 and along the road were lots of random waterfalls. This is the girls in front of Jacob's Falls.

We stopped in Eagle Harbor to see a lighthouse and ended up climbing out on the rocks. The girls got brave and stuck their feet in Lake Superior. The water here was a little colder than in Munising......




We traveled just east of the campground a little ways to where US 41 ends or begins.

I did not realize that you can drive from Copper Harbor, Michigan all the way south to Miami, Florida!!!!



On our way back to the campground we decided to stop at Fort Wilkins State Park. It was really interesting to walk through the Fort and to learn about how the men, women and children lived back in the day.





On Friday evening, we headed back up Brockway Mtn. to see the sunset over Lake Superior. I knew the lake was close, but didn't realize it was that close because of the fog in the morning. But gosh it was AMAZING!!!!





For some reason when we took a picture of Kyle and I with the sunset in the back ground the colors were not the same....but still beautiful!!



On Saturday, Nate and Christine got married in Calumet and then had their reception at the Keweenaw Lodge. We had a wonderful time. The drive home was long, but beautiful!!!!
