Hinckley,Mn July 13-17, 2009


Some of the sights on the trip to and from Hinckley, Min for the annual Paradise Park Reunion..Connie and Mary traveled together for a fun Mother, Daughter outing.

Because I am known by certain little people as Grandma NoNo, I just had to take this photo..




We stayed all 4 nights at different Casino's , This one is the Island Casino in upper Michigan.





Tooling down highway 2 , we spy this guy and his cow standing in a field.
Cow is an old oil tank and milk can, not sure about the man. It is a hike to get out to him through deep grass[? ] or you know we would have a photo of one of us next to him.



A real nice park on the way to Fayette historical mining town.



Old mining town we walked around and read all the interesting information.,




Harbor at the Fayette mining town where you can camp in your boat right here at the docks in the State Park. It is on Lake Michigan. I bet it is a little known area.



19 miles of winding road called the Tunnel of Trees ..This road follows the shore of Lake Michigan and has some great homes and views to drool over..

Entrance to the harbor where the docks to camp are located.

Back across the beautiful "Big Mac"
Never get tired of this view.


Oops, this one is still north of the bridge...


Now in lower Michigan on the Tunnel of Trees, we spy this deer who is not scared of us at all. We get out of the car and he just looks at us.
