Marquette, Michigan

Marquette, Michigan is located at the top of the Upper Peninsula, but not the highest point. It is a big city located on Lake Superior. We were only 16 miles away when we camped in Gwinn, Michigan. The city is quite vibrant with beautiful parks. We took a picture of a young girl who had a rope tied between two trees and she was practicing walking on a balanced beam. Another picture is of a huge structure in the water where ships load and unload iron ore. We also rode out to Prestique Island-another pretty park. Some of the architecture was beautiful. It looked very French- made with sandstone rocks and domes on top. City Hall and a Catholic Church to name a few.

This sailing vessel was for hire.  We saw it out sailing on Lake Superior with it's three sails.  Quite spectacular! 

 That's Joye, Charles Irons and me walking towards one of the inner city parks. We would leave our RV s parked at the campground and travel out to the various sites we want to visit.
