Larry says today is the day for posting pictures so we will see how that plays out. Sunday was a beautiful day with sunshine and about 73 degrees. We drove over to Whitefish Point to the Lighthouse Museum. The remains of the Edmond Fitzgerald lie about 17 miles from there at about 535 feet of water. Some 20 years after it went down they were able to retrive the bell from the ship and replace it with another with the names of all the people lost on that awful night of Nov 10 1975. Having lived here in Michigan then I certainly remember waking up to that news. I have always liked the song that Gordon Lightfoot wrote about the "Fitz" and they were playing that yesterday at the museum.
Stopped for a little lunch then the Casino and back to the campground to have "happy hour" and then more food. Janice had found the Antlers for us to go try the whitefish and needless to day it was the BEST fish we have had so far. After a little time around the fire it was time for Phase III as Ralph and Jim call it, BED. We have Phase I,Happy Hour, Phase II Eating and Phase III Bed. What a LIFE this isl They say laughter is good for the SOUL so let me tell you, my soul is Good. MEM PS: If you are wondering about the second picture it is called a "BUTT SHOT". Jim was wanting to live dangerously.
