First are
a couple shots looking south across the straits showing the Mackinac
Bridge. We dragged ourselves out of the tent at first light expecting
a nice sunrise, and this is what we got. The third is of Simona
patiently awaiting the boiling of the water for our breakfast hot
chocolate. Despite it being after 8am, it was still so dark under the
trees in our campsite that with the flash it almost looks like night.

These are from
our day exploring Mackinac Island. For the first couple of hours the
weather was gray and chilly, but then around noon the sun finally
burned through to make a beautiful afternoon. We did some hiking in
the interior of the island, and then after lunch rented a tandem
bike and cruised the 7-mile M185 loop around the coast of the island,
stopping occasionally to take in the sights. The pace is pretty
laid back as a rule since cars are not allowed on the island, making
transportation by bicycle and horse carriage the norm.

These are just a
couple of the many colorful autumn scenes we
saw on the drive home on
Sunday.
