Lake Superior aka: Gichigami,Gitche Gumee

Labor Day 1983, when I crossed the Mackinac Bridge on a bike.

I saw this lake when I went to Ontario on vacation and we heard all about how massive it is: that it could cover all of North and South America with 3 inches of water, that all the other great lakes could fit inside it, and so forth. And this summer I saw it from the air when I came back from France. It was just like being over the ocean – I couldn’t see any land, even from that high up. It was unreal.

I went summer 2005. It was sweet!

Our family saw Lake Superior for the first time 3 years ago when we vacationed in northern Ontario (Sudbury and Sault Ste. Marie). One day we drove north of the Sault and stopped along a beach for the boys to have a swim. It was cold water, but they had fun and there were plenty of tall pines nearby, truly scenic. What a beautiful location between Wawa and Sault Ste. Marie!

Waded in Duluth and it was NOT warm! I found a really cool fishing net float on the beach.Jake and I went to the Maritime museum.the ships that go on this body of water are Enormous, the lake is like the sea. what i didn’t like were the annoying sea gulls! cute for awhile then just pests.I remember Jake saying it must be the ocean because you couldn’t see the other side.

its cool!

warm water, nice beaches, beautiful sand. I loved it!
