On Monday 8/7 we headed to Mackinaw, Michigan for lunch by the bridge then turned west in the UP (Upper Pennisula) to Marquette Michigan. The campground was Rippling River Resort which I would rate about a 6.5. A small campground in an ok location, but the sites were not well maintained and I had a hell of a time getting level.
We really didn't do much in Marquette except explore Lake Superior. We went to Presque Isle which is a park on the Lake and just rode around the area.
This area was built on the Iron Ore business with hundreds of kilns in the area. Their is still a business loading ships with pellets that are used to produce steel.
Each place we visit I'm busy searching out my t-shirts, hats, and magnets. In Marquette we really didn't do much and after eating our way through Traverse City we ate in the bus every night and only went out for lunch.
Not real thrilled with this town but we did get to see a lot of the UP. You really like to love trees and remote areas. Which I do!
