Do you know the way to Tahquamenon Falls?

 We headed out a bit earlier on yet ANOTHER beautiful day to drive about 1 1/2 hrs to see Tahquamenon Falls in the Tahquamenon State Park.  Plugged that baby in the GPS and off we went.  As we turned into the park it sent us to, it had a different name.  I asked the young man if this was where the falls were, and he said no - you have to go back the way you came and turn left at the first paved intersection you come to.  He said this without cracking a smile, so we figured we were not the first ones to make this mistake!  What he DIDN'T tell us was that first paved intersection was 22 miles down the road!  Yep - over 40 mile mistake there.  Oh well, we made it and first checked out the upper falls area.  The falls were beautiful!




After grabbing lunch at the upper falls we went in search of the lower falls.  The upper falls were TALL.  The lower falls were shorter, but we both thought prettier.  When I saw this sign at the entry to the walk to the lower falls, I must admit small person syndrome came to mind.  If you are small, show off a bit!


There were several viewing areas, all beautiful in their own way. 


This was along the path to the viewpoints.  I really liked this. 


See?  I may be short but I am mighty!  And beautiful!


We headed back to Munising with the chore of doing laundry before leaving tomorrow waiting for us there.  Dinner of carry out pizza at Pictured Rocks Pizza was great.  Our hotel (Comfort Inn and Suites) has a lovely area out in back facing the lake and we took our pizza out to enjoy it while watching yet another sunset develop.


Tomorrow we say goodbye to Michigan and head to Door County Wisconsin for a few days.  We have really enjoyed all things Michigan - so we say a fond farewell.
