After a painfully long day of driving, I popped into this large parking lot by a boat ramp for several days in order to work and visit Jefferson City, MO.
With the holiday weekend approaching, I needed to find someplace free to hide out, get some work done, and try to relax before getting back on the road.
On my way to find a quiet, secluded spot to ride out the holiday weekend, I bagged another National Monument and found a cool old church, but then found disappointment in Rome.
My first stop on the Keweenaw peninsula was a quick night's sleep in a tiny camp by a beautiful little lake. I was wedged in between some trees, but it was good enough for one night.
After leaving Ashland, WI, I headed into Michigan and up the Keweenaw Peninsula to begin exploring this area at a lighthouse that is part of the Keweenaw National Historic Park.
To say I enjoyed myself with my friends Lynn and Erik would be a monstrous understatement; leaving was difficult, but I had a lighthouse and waterfalls to visit on Lake Superior.
After visiting Split Rock Lighthouse and Gooseberry Falls, I slipped into the forest to find a place to get a good night's sleep without spending any money.
