Still U.P. here

About that ride across 510 - the really unusual thing (to us) is that we did not see any wildlife. Not so much as a squirrel. Maybe if TD had been with us he would have spotted one. Still the scenery is wonderful.
We went into Musining, about 35 miles and saw Musining Falls. Very pretty waterfall and a paved trail leading to it. There were stairs to take to the top of the fall. There used to be a trail behind the fall, but due to rock fall it has been closed. TD got to go with us and he enjoyed it a lot. Especially when kids stopped to pet him.
After that we went to Miners Castle. It is an overlook where you can see part of Pictured Rocks that are shaped like castle turrets. TD was with us on that one too. Couple of dogs he really wanted to play with, but just wasn't going to happen. Too many people about. Didn't get many pics there due to the fog on the lake.
We stopped at the Bear Trap for lunch (around 3). TM had a pasty (pass-ty) and said it was really good. I had a Wisconsin burger with cheese. What is a Wisconsin burger? It is a bratwurst patty with cheese and onions on a bun. Very good. TM helped eat the french fries.
A group of motor cyclists came in just before we left. Several of them sat on the porch to rest and of course TM had to talk with them. And he had to get TD out of the truck. Even more attention for the pup!
We had thought to back to Miners Beach, but stopping for lunch made us realize we were ready to head home. So we did.
Last Wed was a hot day, around 90. The church building does not have air conditioning so we met in the basement. Much cooler and we had fans going.
Sunday was the congregational picnic. By the time we ran home to let TD out and then got back to the park, they were just sitting down to eat. Good timing, didn't have to do any of the work. The food was fine and it was a good opportunity to get to know some of the people better. Stayed cloudy and a little chilly until time to leave and then the sun came out. Oh, it was interesting how many people stopped to listen and enjoy our singing after lunch.
That's about it. God Bless
