This past weekend I visited with my Marquette friends, Helen and Jimmy. Thanks so much to both of you for a great weekend! On Saturday afternoon, Helen and I went on a five mile hike along the Little Garlic River trail. This trail is located on the road to Big Bay. On Sunday, we hiked the Mccormic Track wilderness area. I forgot my camera, so I did not get any photos on the second day.
After the hike we had a great fire and coney dog dinner at their Trowbridge property.
Well, even though the agatelady rock shop will not open until June 1, 2023, work has begun. The new windows have been installed and the new parking area is mostly done. Trees have also been removed around the building. Progress.
My college friend and his girlfriend, Steve and Linda, were up to visit me this week. We had a great time! We met in Newberry and played a round of golf. Then, the next day we hiked from Little Beaver Lake to the Lake Superior shoreline in the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. Then, the last evening we had a beach fire dinner.

The fall colors were fantastic around the course.
Steve and Linda at the trailhead.
The leaves covering the ground were as pretty as those still on the trees.
Beaver dam...
Views along the trail....
There appears to be a face in the rock. I think it is natural. Steve and Linda think it is cultural (carved).
Our destination was the Lake Superior beach. The map said it was a 1.5 mile hike (one way), but it was actually over two miles.
We had a rock skipping contest....
After the hike, we went back to my house so I could prepare the "foil food dinner" to cook on the beach.
