A really cool part of the Pictured Rocks Cruise we took was going into Shallow Cove. The cove is only about 15 feet deep and is just barely big enough for the tour boat we were in. The water is so clear you can see to the bottom and see the fish swimming in it! Checkout the video:

Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore was absolutely incredible! The rock formations in this park are the work of centuries of weather, wind and water.

❓Did you know that the colors come from different minerals in the groundwater that are deposited on the rock as the groundwater seeps out and travels on the surface of the rock?

image from Bigfoots! In the UP?

Many Yoopers (those who live in the upper peninsula of Michigan) believe that Bigfoot (or a colony of sasquatches to be exact) live in the remote wilderness of the UP. There’s even groups who go out looking for evidence in hopes to find definitive proof that Bigfoot is real. We got to meet Bigfoot on our journey to Munising. He was a little aloof.

The last portion of the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum that we want to share is not something you get to see at a lot of museums. As it’s no longer needed to manage the lighthouse, the Keeper’s house is maintained as a museum. It captures how the keeper and family would have decorated and used the house in the late 1800’s. They have bedrooms, a living room, kitchen, and office. It was really neat to see. This site is on the National Register of Historic Places
