Aug 12, 2010 - Grand Marais


Chapel Falls
Today we decided to drive to Grand Marais, and take in some more waterfalls in the process. Luckily the nice lady at Fuzzy’s had clued us in about the detour between Munising and Grand Marais; part of the paved road was completely closed, so we had to detour down 12 miles of gravel road to get there. Along the way we noticed all the snowplow guards in front of the mailboxes, and also that most of the speed limit signs had two parts: one for cars, and one for snowmobiles. They get lots of snow up here. I’d be willing to bet that once the snow starts to fall, you’d better have yourself a Yooper crotch rocket13 to get through until spring. Either that, or you’ll have to get out your lats14 or maybe stay snowed in15.

Chapel Falls was my favorite of the day. We also saw Sable Falls and the Sable Dunes. But once again, it was too stinkin’ hot to hike out to the AuSable Light Station. We’ll save that for next time.
