Stopped briefly at Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore as it was sort of on the way, but kept it moving since I've hiked that area pretty extensively in the past so kept heading west toward Copper Harbor.
The drive up 26 heading to Copper Harbor. Lake Superior hugs the road to the west.
Stopped for a brief hike along Lake Superior Trail. It was pretty windy. You could say the gales of November came early.
Views along the drive.

Overlooking the town of Copper Harbor.
Left there and headed to the Porcupine Wilderness State Park two hours south, home to a pretty extensive stand of old growth northern hardwood forest. Lots of sugar maple, yellow birch, and eastern hemlock...for those into that sort of thing.
Hiked a trail several miles through the forest to the Lake of the Clouds.
I dig fungus.

Ran into Dan Vogel's buddy down by the lake
These two were shy and didn't want their pictures taken
Fiat, you know damn well what Husker meant. Chillax. Enjoy the serenity captured in Mgo's most excellent PET.
