On my last night in Michigan, I managed to get a spot right across from the banks of Lake Erie, and after a busy day, I ate a bowl of cereal on the beach.
Pressing eastward, I stopped in Monroe, MI, to visit a National Battlefield Park and found a Catholic Church with an impressive painted ceiling before camping by Lake Erie.
After checking out the courthouse, I decided to head to the public beach that was not too far away. I knew a storm was rising on Lake Superior, and I wanted to see what it felt like.
Split Rock Lighthouse is one of the most photographed lighthouses in the world, and I was excited to learn more about this iconic structure and its impact on Lake Superior.
