Day 22-23: Houghton, MI - Fun new friends and yummy food!

Thankfully after a couple of days Ben was feeling good and we were ready to be on the move again. We enjoyed our time so much in the Keweenaw and will be planning another visit next summer! This is as far as we will travel on Superior this year. We will start our journey back home with a stop in Harbor Springs for our Grand Banks Cruising Club Rendezvous.
The water and weather were glorious for our run to Houghton/Hancock.

Approaching the marina...this is the Portage lift bridge that connects Houghton and Hancock over Portage Lake.

We enjoyed exploring Houghton/Hancock. Ben has been through this area on his snowmobile as this has been ranked the third highest snowfall city in the US according to the Weather Channel year after year. Seeing it in the summer and on foot is much different! The town was full of shopping and food, of course I had to get pizza! We met a great group of people from the south west side of Superior, which is where the Apostles are located, and where we would like to travel next time. Lots of good boating discussion and future planning for this group. It sounded to us like we might have some future Loopers joining us on our next time around!! We will be crossing our fingers.
