Never go on trips with anyone you do not love.

THE ROAD TRIPS
Munising Michigan. From mid Michigan it takes a good 6 hours of driving (close to the speed limit) to get there. It is one of my go to places because of Lake Superior and I am familiar with it. It is also the place to go when you want to go to the west end of Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. This is where the sandstone cliffs are and the tours that will guide you out there. I had purchased a Paddlers Choice package in the winter that also included a hotel stay at the Days Inn. We were put in a tandum Kayak and set out to sea from Miners Beach. It took a little bit of paddling for us to get to the sandstone cliffs but once we got out there it took my breath away. I became so emotional that I had a few tears. It was that beautiful. We kayaked a ways up the shoreline and stopped at Mosquito Beach where we had our lunch that we brung with us. We wandered around and then sat and watched the lake and chatted with our guide. The whole trip is about 6 hours and by hour 5 I was ready to be done with the paddling. On our way back to Miners Beach the wind and waves had picked up quite a bit and I actually had to help Ramon get the kayak back in. It was an amazing adventure. Seems like everytime I go to Munising I have to do the Sunset cruise. It takes you out to the cliffs and the way the "golden hour" sun reflects off them and the lake is magical. The sunset cruise is a must.
