they very much enjoyed the swim at a nice beach where the au train river empties into the chilly waters of lake superior just west of munising.

the surface water temperature maps claim the water might be breaking 60°F but it sure didn’t feel like a degree above 50°F. brrrrrrrrr.

day 4017 - 182/365. hiking the hogback! II.

we didn’t know it at the time but some consider it one of the most difficult hikes in michigan. i don’t know about that, but it was challenging. the hard work was worth it though because the view of lake superior and the surrounding area was gorgeous.
