Loading boxcars on the boats of the Pere Marquette line at Ludington, Michigan





Interstate Hy. 75 which runs from Canada to Southern Florida, is shown here west of the Police Post, Houghton Lake, Michigan.





It's 32 miles around this lake.  We fish on the ice often.  We've been here 22 years.  We all like to fish and I have had a lot of deer hunting too.  There are bear and bobcats within five miles of home.  But of course civilization is moving in and they move out.  There was no SDA church when we came and ones was organized after being here 2 years.  My mother was with us last summer she will be 83 this month, she is with Clifford in Peoria.



TOUR BOAT - Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan

Tour Boat BIDE-A-WEE in the Mac Arthur Lock.  The excitement of being raised or lowered 21 feet in one of the locks can only be accomplished by taking a cruise on one of the Soo Locks Tour Boats.  This is the best way to see the actual operation of the Locks.




Carl stayed home.

I've actually taken that tour on the Bide-a-wee, in fifth grade or so. I remember it being very cool. We also visited the surviving lifeboats of the Edmund Fitzgerald (of Gordon Lightfoot fame) on that same trip.

Wait. On THE Bide-a-wee? The actual Bide-a-wee? Not some other, lesser Soo Locks tour boat?
