We stayed at Wilderness SP as all the state parks in the U.P. shut off the water/close dump stations on Oct 15th. We'd like to explore the U.P. more but will have to start a little earlier!

Wilderness is quite nice...lots of hiking/biking trails to try. Went on a lovely drive through the Tunnel of Trees on M19 along the Lake Michigan shoreline. I've attached a few pictures of the area.

We’ve had to make a change in plans. The parks in the U.P. of Michigan are still open but are shutting down their water systems and dump stations on Oct. 15^th, so we’ve cancelled our reservations at Tahquamenon Falls State Park in the eastern upper peninsula. We now staying at Wilderness State Park (near Mackinaw) Oct. 14 – 20^th, then moving on to Metamora-Hadley Rec Area (near Flint) on Oct 20^th.

I’ve attached a few more photos from the Fort Wilkins area.

We arrived at Fort Wilkins State Park in the Keweenaw Penisula in the U.P. in Michigan on Tuesday. It was a good travel day from Ely, MN though slow as mostly it was 2 lane roads through many small towns. We decided to stock up at a Walmart Supercenter but that put us in the campground at 9 pm in the dark manuevering into a tight campsite with a couple of flashlights...it weren’t pretty to watch or listen to!

This area is very scenic...Lake Superior shoreline and the fall colors...also

We're really enjoying our stay at Bear Head Lake SP near Ely, MN. It's a very beautiful area as the photos show. Don't think this be our only stay at this park!

The rain stopped and it brightened up this afternoon allowing us the opportunity to check out Dunning's Spring in Decorah...lovely spot.

Travel day tomorrow to Ely, MN...staying at Bear Head Lake SP.
