Spend a little time in Sault Staint Marie and watch the great lake freighters lock through. If you time it right you'll see 1,000 ft ships. There is a web site to check on ship traffic.
There are nice parks in Munising, see Pictured Rocks, Marquette, Houghton, take a copper mine tour, drive up to Copper Harbor, see Lake of the Clouds in Ontonagon, , and Fayette, an old pig iron harbor.
The weather is usually in the 70's day time. Evenings are cool and great for camp fires. Be sure to try the miner's lunch. They're called
pasties, a "hot pocket with meat, potatoes, and veggies."
Oh, and if you can pronounce all the towns correctly you are from Michigan. The U-pers call us lower peninsular people "trolls" because we live beneath "the Bridge".

Jack,
MANY Thanks! Just what we were looking for! we've never been and nothing like getting a first hand recommendation from a member that has been there and done that!!!! You are the best!!!! Many thanks! We'll take ALL your suggestions, I LOVE watching the freighters and locks!!!!!!! We're looking for some "cooler weather"........too,too hot in Florida right now!!!!!!!! BTW I LOVE the line about the "trolls" that is so funny!!!!!!!!!! And I doubt I will be able to pronounce ANY of the towns correctly but I'll give'er a go when we get there!

John, thanks, yeah we use rvreviews religiously! Thanks again for the tip!
