 A shot of the scenery on the drive through the Ozarks.  Nancy & Caeden outside the lodge looking around.  Mather Lodge  Just an amazing view of the Ozarks!  Of course, swimming in the pool.  Starting down the trail towards Cedar Falls.  One of the many stairways heading down the trail.  A quick rest stop.  Going across the river at the half-way point.  Heading up the trail - almost there!  Cedar Falls! A circular opening in the rock with a small pool at the bottom. It was amazingly beautiful!  Back at the lodge, enjoying a rest after the hike.

I just love this truck. It actually has style.  The most powerful 'Cougar' ever built.  The very first 'Mustang' ever built.  Darn good looking 'Mustang'!  One of the top 3 best looking cars ever made!!! Fort Necessity (Battle of the Great Meadows)Wednesday, April 3. 2013

 Empty auditorium - it is BEAUTIFUL! Reminds me of the old, old, old West Jordan Elementary School.  A picture from the balcony of the auditorium. Amazingly beautiful.  The stage is set, and ready for the players!  The "Strings" group. Caeden is front row, third from the right.  "Strings" group again. I wasnt going to include this one, but the girl on the right of Caeden......  Caeden singing with his whole class. Front row again, but on the left side this time. Great job singers!

 Our first stop was for lunch at the Keweenaw Mountain Lodge.  The car and the tree's changing colors.  A good picture of the rocks at the entry of the harbor.  The first stop on the mountain trail. Looking over Copper Harbor.  A view of the lighthouse at the entry of Copper Harbor.  Fall colors  More fall colors  Last picture before we leave the trail.  We stopped at a little rest area on Lake Superior. It's hard to describe the size of the lake. It's like being next to the ocean again.  Mini-Golf place made us all LOL! Not closed....it's 'shut'. Thats just plain funny!  Within 10 miles of Copper Harbor  About 5 miles from Copper Harbor, right before the Lodge.  Another picture of the Lodge.  Funny street sign in Copper Harbor.  The Jam Pot on our way home.  This made Nancy laugh more than anything else! Those monks have a sense of humor! |
