| Orientation |
After hockey camp we went exploring and ended up at the Lumberman's Memorial on the lower peninsula. It is a memorial erected in 1931 to commemorate lumberman who harvested Michigan's giant white pine.
On the memorial grounds is a 280 step, 150 ft. vertical drop staircase. Andy and I took on the challenge. Here is a view of Au Sable River from about halfway down.
And here is Andy. at the bottom.
On the river they had a replica of the floating kitchens that followed the lumbermen down the river.
And of course, what goes down - must go up!
We decided to take the scenic route up the coast back to Alpena, along the way we saw several signs for snow mobile crossing. I thought it was pretty cool so I snapped a picture.
We ventured along the highway and came across a sign for a lighthouse so we stopped. This is the Sturgeon Point Lighthouse.
Andy took off for the beach and could have stayed and played forever.
