Day 5: 196 miles today, Munising to Ironwood. Beautiful day, sunny and up to 74 degrees.  First stop was at Lakenenland, an outdoor sculpture park about 30 miles west of Munising. We drove a circular path through 37 acres of woods with more than 80 large whimsical works from scrap iron. It is open 24 hours a day and free. Great fun!
Marquette was congested, under construction and a relief to leave behind. Very little traffic to Ironwood through woods that have not yet leafed out. We toured the Ironwood depot museum built in 1892 when iron mining was big here. Nice collection of local history.
We are in Central time now.

  2. It’s crazy how far you can drive and still be in the state of Michigan!
