Sorry about the double post. The site seemed to be having a bugger of a time processing the pics, so I just decided to make a second post.
Anyway, more pics from South Manitou...
Here's a shot of the loud, slow boat that brought us to the island. A boat ride I had to pay for twice, cuz the first ticket I bought from them was on the day of my grandfather's wake. And the pricks at the transit company wouldn't let me just re-use that ticket. But I digress.
On the island, there's a grove of cedar trees. Some of the largest and oldest cedar trees in North America. Some of them, including the one I'm standing in front of, predate Columbus's arrival to the "new world."
Below are shots of what remains of the SS Francisco Morazan. This cargo vessel wrecked here in November/December of 1960. The ship now mostly houses nesting seagulls and cormorants. Next summer, I plan on kayaking out to it and getting much better pictures.
Sleeping Bear Dunes off in the distance.
And, lastly, a couple shots of the South Manitou Island Lighthouse.
