Vacation Tidbits! (Thursday August 5, 2010)

Well after a rather laid back Wednesday we decided it was time for another day trip,
this time it was to......

Big Spring (Kitch-iti-kipi)

Michigan's Largest Spring.

Named the "Mirror of Heaven" by the early Indians.

Located in Palms Book State Park near Manistique in the
Upper Peninsula of Michigan

A self-operated observation raft guides visitors to vantage points overlooking fascinating underwater features and fantasies.

This raft is on a cable that is pulled across the pool by a park employee or can easily be operated by any visitors to the park. The fast flowing spring can be seen through the viewing windows or you can look over the side of the viewing raft. This beautiful crystal clear spring can also be enjoyed from the shore.

So now I will share some photos of our time there..of course all of us (except Fred) loved the visit to the gift shop too!! Lots of neat "stuff"!




The raft coming back across the spring for us to get on for our turn!!









Megan being the captain!!!

When we left there we stopped by a lighthouse..that was on our way back to the cabin. All in all it was a great day...had lunch out and then came home and all of us enjoyed relaxing out by the water...lovely day!!!
