Follow the Lights ... Day 6

Starting Tripometer Reading: 1137.8
Ending Tripometer Reading: 1553.9
Lighthouses Viewed: 8

Well, Day 6 wasn't as long or as bad as we thought it might have been. We did head east to the north-western coast of Lake Huron, and worked our way south. We saw 8 more lights (6 light houses, and 2 range lights), climbed two more towers, and continued to eat our way around Michigan!! We even ended up seeing two couples at the first lighthouse that we had seen on our lighthouse cruise yesterday. The picture below was taken 113 feet high on the catwalk of the New Presque Isle lighthouse. It happens to be the same height as one we climbed the second day (the one we hiked to in the wind and rain), but we couldn't go out onto the catwalk that day because of the windy conditions. And yes, I have my Red Sox hoodie on AGAIN ... it was the warmest thing I brought!!!

Here's another view from the top (DON'T LOOK WILLIE!!!!)

After visiting the above lighthouse, and the other three lights in the immediate area, we decided to grab another sandwich at a local hole-in-the-wall deli. I ordered my sub, and as the lady went to make it, we said "wait, she [Dannie] would like one too". She seemed surprised, and we didn't know why. However, when they brought the subs out, we understood why she had that look. We couldn't believe the size of these sandwiches!!!! Needless to say, they were delicious (at least the parts we ate of them).

After visiting the last light, we headed back to Traverse City, and had delicious pizza from the Bay View Bar & Grill (recommended by Margo and her sister, Marcia). As for the Lighthouse of the Day, we need your help. We couldn't decide a winner, so it's up to you. Here are three of the best lighthouses from the day. Be sure to post a comment as to which one you like best??

1) Forty Mile Point:

2) New Presque Isle:

3) Tawas Point:

That last lighthouse (Tawas Point) might be the last one we see on this trip. Tomorrow is going to be a real easy day for us. We're going to sleep in, do a little more shopping in downtown, pack (ugh), and get ready for the return trip. There's a chance we might get to see some lights around Detroit before we head to the airport on Saturday afternoon ... yup, you guessed it ... you'll have to check back to see if we do or not!!
