| It was quite windy at South Higgins Lake |
After breakfast, we took a short hike around the Brighton Lake and came across a bank of lilacs in bloom--lovely! After stretching out legs, we got back on the road, headed north on Route 23, enjoying the trees in bud. We stopped at
South Higgins State Park, near Roscommon, where four Michigan Dept. of Natural Resources staffers came out of the office to admire our RV.
They told us that Higgins Lake is “the sixth most beautiful lake in the world.”
The deep parts were a bright turquoise and the shallow areas formed a ring of slate blue. It was so windy, however, that the rangers suggested we go across the road to the more sheltered
Marl Lake.
There, we watched a young couple fishing in hip waders while we ate sandwiches at a beachside picnic table.
We took a 3-mile hike on a lush loop trail.
About 5:00pm, we arrived at
Burt Lake State Park, about 30 miles south of Cheboygan--one of the early Michigan state parks built by the
Civilian Conservation Core in the 1930’s. We enjoyed a quick walk, and then settled in the late afternoon sunshine at the picnic table, with our computers and a hot spot Wi-Fi connection.
