He spent 9 days hiking 160 miles of the North Country Trail. It was a beautiful drive and we got to enjoy some amazing views of beautiful Lake Superior and we visited nearby Sable Falls. We even saw a rainbow on the drive home. It’s great to have Kevin back home and we enjoyed hearing all about his adventure.

We had a picnic lunch and of course we stopped for some fudge while we were in the area.

Hoeft State Park http://carolynpierpont.com/2010/11/06/p-h-hoeft-state-park/ http://carolynpierpont.com/2010/11/06/p-h-hoeft-state-park/#comments Sat, 06 Nov 2010 12:19:58 +0000 Carolyn http:///?p=4286 We are on vacation this week. We would have preferred an earlier fall vacation, but October was a busy month. We stayed at the lodge at P.H. Hoeft State Park near Roger’s City. We enjoyed discovering cool looking rocks, hiking around the park, and seeing some local attractions. Our first night the stars were bright and beautiful along the shore of Lake Huron. We had a fire and made s’mores. The kids enjoyed some star tipping too. We spotted freighters on Lake Huron and some of us enjoyed a beautiful sunrise. We went to Ocqueoc Falls, 40 Mile Point Lighthouse, a local apple orchard and viewed the biggest open pit limestone quarry in the world. We had fun playing games and enjoyed lots of laughter. It was fun exploring a new part of the state we hadn’t seen yet.
