A short drive, about two hours. After driving around both campgrounds we found a site that we thought we could get a satellite signal on.....but I was wrong. So two nights without tv.
We drove over to White Fish Point to the Great Lakes Shipwreck museum where they have exhibits on the shipwrecks on the great lakes. A very well done museum. Small, but well done.

This is the bell from the Edmond Fitszgerald. They went down and removed the bell, and replaced it with a duplicate with the names of all 29 crewmen.
These figures are very realistic looking. I kept waiting for them to move. They are as good, if not better, than the one in wax museums.
These are actual dive suits, and the wreck is also real.
After the museum it was off to the gift shop for more treasures. Than on to a tour of the lightkeepers house(s). There was originally one house built in the 1800 and than somewhere in the 1900 they rebuilt the house as a duplex and added an assistant lightkeeper.The older side was unfurnished but the newer side was furnished with some of the same furniture and stuff as the original. One of the women who lived there helped in the restoration.
We kept looking for this guy to move also. Jamie touched his face to see if he would move.
.
And it would not be a complete day without some pictures of the boys. After the museum Linda took them out to the beach to play and collect some rocks.
On the way out to the campground Linda had seen a sign for fresh whitefish and chips. So for supper tonight thats where we went, Linda and I had the whitefish and chips and the boys had shrimp baskets. Everything was very good.
Tomorrow we will do the upper and lower falls if we can survive the mosquitos!!!!
They are everywhere...we even swatted at them in the restaurant.
Have a great night
love to all of ya
Jim, Linda, Jamie, Jordan
