Finish or NOT Friday 9.5.2025

Thursday September 4, 2025 saw us traveling around the UP of Michigan.

Our first stop was Benny the Beard Fisher. He's located on private property, Northwoods Outfitters in Germfask, Michigan. He was pretty cool and he is my first Thomas Dambo Troll. Here is a link to my Google search that shows many sites for more information on Thomas Dambo and his troll sculptures.

We then went north to Grand Marais, Michigan. We stopped at the beach. We did walk out to the water but 'Mother Superior' (Lake Superior - her nickname at Northern Michigan University) was very angry and we opted to eat lunch in the Jeep.

We followed the scenic drive west and stopped at the Log Slide Lookout. I do believe this is part of the Pictured Rocks.

As we made our way East back to St. Ignace, I also noticed the Lake Michigan was kicking up waves. I took this picture somewhere along US 2 West.

After supper, we visited the Bridge View Park again because it was darker. :) I took this picture right before the headlights turned off on the Jeep. I thought it was kinda cool. :)

Now onto the quilting...

I did indeed quilt down the Thick Sticks quilt and got it bound! It's now part of the 3.5 inch Trunk Show...

I went on the wild side and chose red for the binding...
