July
22 seems so long ago. What have I been posting about here since then?
Anyway,
that Wednesday was our second full day of camping at Bewabic State Park in
Crystal Falls, Michigan. It had been a cold, wet night the night before, and the
temperature was only 59 when we finally headed out for a ride around 9:30. The
sky assured us that rain was imminent.
Our
ride consisted of driving up and down pretty much every street in Crystal
Falls, population 1,370, and taking up a distance of 3.47 square miles, so it’s
not like traversing every street would be a major feat. I would have liked to
walk some of those streets, but there were those rain clouds hanging overhead. Instead,
a lot of pictures were taken through the truck windows and others were “snatch
and go” (jump out of the truck, snap a half dozen pictures, jump back in,
instruct Hubby to drive to the next block, where I repeated my antics. I hope no
one was watching us.)
And
yes, the rain did eventually begin falling. I did, though, get the following
pictures, between raindrops.
Crystal
Falls dam and power plant
Clark’s
Landing park which is adjacent to the dam
Crystal
Falls theater
And
lots of other buildings downtown
The
Iron County courthouse
Harbor
House Museum
A
Community Garden
The
Bigfoot Inn
And
finally Winks Woods, which is a fun little craft shop where we did some
shopping to support the local economy.
All
of that took us just ‘til 11:15. After a lunch of leftovers, we read and napped
and took a few short walks. Finally we resorted to building a campfire and
making s’mores, even though we hadn’t eaten supper yet. But that worked out
well as I was able to enjoy the s’mores more on an empty stomach.
We went to bed hoping for better weather on the ‘morrow
