Newberry and Whitefish Point, MI

This visit actually was before Camp Gramps, my posting are out of order :(

Its not every day that you can hand-feed a bear!  We had the opportunity to do just that at Oswald's Bear Ranch (pictures coming soon!).  The five month old cubs are "rescue-bears".  This is a great place to visit when you're in the u.p.  You can also feed the larger bears, but of course not hand-feed them :) 

Visiting the Shipwreck Museum was amazing.  The kids learned a lot here (especially Sarah Rose).  Over 6,000 shipwrecks in the Great Lakes and the number is still climbing.  The Great Lakes are more treacherous than navigating any ocean.  OK, I won't bore you with anymore facts.  Sarah Rose will be writing a report on the Edmund Fitzgerald which will include lyrics from Gordon Lightfoot.
Zip Lining!
Go Mama!
There is no rock wall too high or too difficult for this Girlie!  This was a 30 foot wall that she climbed about four minutes flat!
Is it obvious how much Michael likes museums?  Gumby sure does! 
Oswald's Bear Ranch:  This is not a telephoto lense, we are really that close!  What a fun little treasure in the u.p.
Lake Superior.....BEAUTIFUL!
Lake Superior...brrr 44 degrees!
Showers in the parking lot at Pictured Rock National Park
Tough day of traveling
