After an amazing night of sleep, we drove around Big Bay a little bit, then hiked to the top of Sugarloaf Mountain. So pretty. We also got super lucky, because originally it was supposed to be raining the entire day. The temperatures had cooled down, and it was absolutely lovely. Next we drove through Presque Isle Park. The cooler weather was amazing, but if it had been warmer, we for sure would have stopped to jump off Black Rocks Cliff. We didn't have a site reserved for that night, counting on getting a spot at one of the many first come, first service campsites. We made a quick stop for lunch at Jean Kay's Pasties & Subs (pasties are everywhere!), then got really lucky and got a nice place at Bay Furnace Campground in the Hiawatha National Forest. By evening, it was completely full. After we claimed our spot, we drove through Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. Gorgeous. It's a large, long park, so we only fit in one stop -- the Log Slide. It was insane. Hard to even explain. We only went 1/5th of the way down. It's definitely tempting to do the entire thing, but the warning signs were enough to scare me from attempting it on our already full day. After a little gas snafu (not many gas stations, and the first one we tried was out of diesel so we had to go 25 miles to the next closest station), we made our way back to the site.
