Munising MI - Day 2 UP Vacation

 Day 2 we woke up and decided to try a little bit of hiking.  

The main stop in the morning was to see as much as possible on this map.  Reality was that we stopped in to see Miner's Castle and lucky we did because it was the only place to get the park pass we needed for the rest of the journey.  

Now we were seeing things from the top, instead of the water like last night.  We traveled all the way to the lighthouse on Au Sable Light Station.  It was very interesting and being inside the tower was a bit scary to me.  We got to the top of the spiral stairs, listened to the guide, then he opened up the door for us to go outside.  Not me!  I bolted down the stairs as fast as my Crocs would go.  Heights have become a thing I'm not fond of as I've aged a bit.  

Check out the pictures and youtube tour on the official page

We came back a ways on the beach and saw some shipwreck debris.  It was a long hike and ate up a lot of our day.  Back to town and ate at Border Grill

It's a bit of a less option Chipotle.  Decent food at the end of the day.  The best ice cream of the trip came from https://fallingrockcafe.com/
