2005 U.P. Vacation
We started the week-long vacation with Kris' race (Loose Moose Enduro in Marquette).  We then headed to L'anse for some riding, and drove to the Porkies for a day of sight-seeing.

Here are some pictures from our riding adventures.  Unfortunately, the second day of riding had no pictures... John's memory card was full (he forgot his spare), and my camera was waterlogged!  :(

Sightseeing
2.Sightseeing
We took a side trip up to Big Bay on the way to L'anse on Monday.  There is a lighthouse bed and breakfast there... and a TON of flies.  We have horses, and not a tenth of the flies that mobbed us when we got out to take pictures of the lighthouse!

Wednesday was a trip to the Porcupine Mountains.  There are trees that are over 400 years old in the Porkies.  There are some old mines, and some logging was done, but the area is now protected.  Mark your calendars to go during the fourth week of July... the thimbleberries should be going strong then (they were just starting to ripen when we were there... YUM).

Wow, what can I say here?  This was a spectacular sunset... the perfect ending to our first day of riding.
