Pictured Rocks

I expected the bugs would keep us from Pictured Rocks, but as it turned out the gray weather was a bigger obstacle. I suspect that clear skies and sunshine do wonders for this place - turning the waters blue and lighting up the rocks. The coastline itself is spectacular and reminded me in many ways of the beaches on Georgian Bay near Tobermory - although these beaches are sandy, not cobble.

We drove out to Miner's Castle and to the beach just around the corner (where M & D sat in car while I went out to the beach). I was blown away by the lack of flies and mosquitoes - I had expected a war zone.

I need to come back someday in late spring or early fall with more time and a kayak!
