Lake Superior is bounded on the south shore by cliffs and old towns. One lighthouse, derelict for many years, guards the shoals where freighters and other boats went aground on sandy reefs. The major interest though is the Picture Rocks National Seashore, only visible from a boat. These formations have many forms and colors.
Of course, the boat gets followed by scores of seagulls wanting something to eat. Fortunately they did not drop, but they sure scream as bread crumbs are thrown at them.At one point the captain took the 100 feet long boat into a very small cove, which this picture tries to show. While we couldn't quite touch the walls, they couldn't have been more than a couple of yards away.
We found the daily grind in the tiny town of Musining. It also had a used bookstore, so I bought a couple of books to finish off the trip. One an autobiography of Anne Scott James, who for years has been on NPR-BBC "My Word." It was written in 1952!We crossed the border back into Canada and now are in Sault Ste Marie, thinking about dinner, a bit, and enjoying the view of the locks in the distance.
