Miners Castle

 After our hike to Au Sable Light Station, we continued east on H58 toward Munising and decided to check out Miners Castle. One of the more recognized and viewed vistas at Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, this was our view. Miners Castle should have been on the lower left corner of the downward sloping trees. But, the fog pretty much obscured the view from here....wasn't there a Stephen King movie about fog???It was actually sort of creepy here, with the current weather conditions and all.

We followed a short trail, only

maybe 1/3 to 1/2 mile at the most

to another viewpoint that was closer

to the formations.  I was guessing that it was supposed to be more scenic than this. So, we left, deciding to check this area out again tomorrow, and hopefully the weather would be more cooperative.

And it was! Friday wasn't a perfect day, but, the weather was improving, the dense fog had mostly dissipated, a few showers remained here and there.  

 I think sometime I shall come back here and perhaps take a kayaking tour!

Looking east, toward Munising, I believe that is Grand Island in the background. As you can see, the weather was still far from perfect. We had originally planned to do a boat tour, but with the skies being so overcast and waves at a 6 ' chop, we decided against it. Maybe next time.
