Great Lakes Day 14: Kitch-iti-kipi, Fayette Historic State Park

 Friday morning, we said goodbye to Mackinac City and headed towards Wisconsin.

Megan, Matthew and Me with our car.

Cool looking bridge.

Matthew moving the raft. He turned the wheel both ways.

Looking down at the spring. The water is so clear. The spring is about 40 feet deep. 

It is around 200 feet across the spring.

So clear!

We saw a number of fish swimming over the spring.

Some sort of lakeweed growing on the log.

We then went to Fayette Historic State Park which was a town that manufactured charcoal pig iron in the late 1800s. It was in a very picturesque setting.

The furnace complex

We then drove through the rain to our hotel in Wisconsin. Cute quote from along the drive from Megan, "Anything can happen in a little town in Michigan."
