July 27th: Piictured Rocks, a big lawn ornament and the fabled Green Flash

Off to Munising in the morning for the boat tour of the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, very impressive and worth the time and money. Then west toward the Keweenaw Peninsula with a stop in Ishpeming to visit the Yooper Tourist Trap with the world's largest chainsaw among other attractions, LOL! We camped at FJ McLain State Park on the shore of Lake Superior where we saw a perfect sunset and witnessed our first green flash. Sailors talk about the green flash all the time but few get the chance to see one in person. The story is that just at the split second that the sun dips below the water on the horizon, you see a bright green flash. Well, we had looked often but had never seen it. Tonight was the night, yes it really does exist and we'll be looking forward to the next time.
