Wednesday, July 5th

This morning we left Bayfield and drove to Ontonogan, Michigan, right on the southern shore of Lake Superior. We checked into the River Pines RV Park and had dinner "downtown" at the Harbor View Cafe. The town's name is pronounced "On-tawn-a-gun". I am consistently mispronouncing it.

We plan to explore the Keweenaw Peninsula Thursday and Friday. It juts northward into Lake Superior about 125 miles and has a rich history of copper mining and some silver mining.
