After a nice lunch with friends of Sandy's, we drove north to Tahquamenon Falls, a scenic attraction of this part of the UP. Nice park facilities, though the brewery was closed. The trail to the overlooks was packed down and the 94 steps to the edge of the falls were cleared of snow. It is an impressive waterfall, with features of the cliff edge visible through the veil of water. There are rapids visible in the shallows of the dark, cold river above the falls. Equally beautiful are the ice cascade and frost formations on the side of the river, probably from the moisture created by the plunge.
Tom found that 10-pound weights had attached themselves to each leg by the time he reached the 85th step on the way back! TV
