Door County Wisconsin to Iron Mountain, MI

   On June 18th we left upper Michigan and drove south to the Door Peninsula in Wisconsin.  A huge storm came through and hammered us with heavy rains, lightening and thunder as we drove . . . a sort of car wash on the roll --

   In spite of the bad weather the Door Peninsula was packed with vacationers.  The narrow roads that go to the end of the peninsula were heavy with traffic and even if we wanted to stop at the little towns along the way - there was absolutely NO parking available!

   We couldn't wait to escape the Door and headed north to the Keweenaw peninsula of Michigan.
   As we drove through the beautiful wooded countryside south of Iron Mountain, Wisconsin - low fog started to collect under the trees.


   We explored a dirt road into the woods when we saw this light coming through . . .

  . . . and as the sun set, the golden colors radiated across the fields and filled the western sky.
