where is my 4 wheeler?

To live up north you must own a 4-wheeler--or a snow mobile. There are trails everywhere. Some towns even make paths for each vehicle, with light poles no less. One school district had a wonderul path with victorian lamplights so the kids could walk, ride or snowmobile to school! And there are trains with coal on them. The larger cities have huge coal factories with huge mountains of coal outside them. This weekend is Memorial weekend. To the people who live up here, it means 4 wheeler weekend. They're everywhere, even on the highway. That's all you hear, the 4 wheeler motors. A few days ago Alan and I drove to the Taquemenan Falls in Michigan. It was cold and rainy, but we needed to get out and do something. I'm posting pictures of the Lower and Upper Falls.

The waterfalls are rusty looking. We were told it's organic matter. It looks like iron to us. While at the Falls, we saw a busload of kids unload and visit the falls. The teacher told us in Michigan every Junior High and High school class gets to take an overnight field trip. This class of 7th and 8th graders combined had a 2 night field trip to the falls. Wow.

I'm also posting a picture of last night's sunset. It was beautiful. God sure gave us a beautiful world to live in. He could have given us a solid color sky but His awesomeness gave us a multicolored beautiful sunset.

And I'm also posting a cute Dairy Queen that's in Sault Ste. Marie, MI.

We woke up early this morning and drove through all of Upper Peninnsula, MI, then through the top of Wisconsin, and now we're in Minnesota, just west of Duluth. The RVs are here for fishing. Many of the owners are from Texas here for the summer. They call it here for the season. And they fish all the time.

Alan's tired from his long day of driving so we don't know if we're going to spend 1 or 2 nights here. We'll decide in the morning. Sweet dreams everyone.
