July 25: Locks, lights, and falls

Wednesday morning we headed up to Sault Saint Marie to see the locks between Lake Superior and the St. Mary's River. We were lucky enough to see two freighters locking through, a 1000-footer upbound to Lake Superior and a 700-plus-footer downbound to the lower lakes. Then on towards Tahquamenon Falls State Park stopping to see an Indian burialground and Point Iriquois lighthouse. At Tahquamenon we viewed the upper falls and then had dinner and beers at the microbrewery/restaurant in the park.
