I would love to spend much more time exploring Marquette. Looks to be an amazing city and is without doubt a beautiful place. Pics of Whitefish will be up as soon as this one video finishes loading. Very close.

Video of my wife riding H58. Our group does a lot of spirited riding on much twistier roads than most are accustomed to. She can ride with the best of the guys.

From Tahquamenon its a 25-30 mile ride up to Whitefish Point Lighthouse. Very nice ride up hwy 123 except the last 10 miles again we got stuck behind a very large Greyhound bus sized motorhome struggling to negotiate the fairly twisty road.

From there we start the return trip back to the cabin. It's about 5 pm at this point. We reach a small town somewhere on 123 before getting back to hwy 28. I realize my wife has not had hardly anything to eat or drink this day. I stop to fill the bikes with gas and have to make her drink a bottle of water even after explaining how important it is to stay hydrated while riding and riding we did. At the end of the day she had broken her longest ride record on her own bike of around 300 miles by a fair amount lol and she really didn't complain about any discomfort. My Saddleman RS Explorer did great also! We simply take 28 all the way back to Marquette and are back at the cabin around 8PM

I wanted to go to Marquette and catch the fireworks show there but it had been a long hot day toward the end so we stayed at the cabin and I loaded my pics and videos onto my laptop and we enjoyed a pretty nice fireworks show over the little lake we were staying on instead. Directly across from us was a Bible camp with 200-300 kids and they had been shooting very large fireworks close to professional grade every night we were there. The 4th was no exception or the 5th when I needed to get to sleep early!!!! Grrrrr!!!! LOL
