Apparently this is the Key West of the Great Lakes. Big tourist trap (they haven't seen Da Yoopers in Ishpeming) and magnet for the noveau riche. Of course, there are fewer noveau riche these days with the economy, but that still doesn't explain why we were one of only two boats on the mooring buoys. Probably the weather and the fact that it was Wednesday noon when we woke up. Made scrambled eggs and coffee for the crew (and they are still alive once again!); Ziggy found some pickled onions to add for flavoring.
The monument is supposedly the third-tallest in the country and commemorates Admiral Perry's victory over the Brits in Lake Erie (sorry, Paul).
Oh, hell, just go to this site. He has much better pics.
