The Road Less Traveled:
This photo was taken "way up north" - north of Marquette, the first trip I took as an "NMU Mom."
Tom was at orientation for 2 days and I was up there just hanging out. I took the "waterfalls" map and my GPS and took off. That's the day I learned that my GPS unit took the short way. Even when the short way was a 2 (or one) track "truck trail" - a sort of path for logging trucks.
I turned back when the "bridge" across a creek was a set of 2x4's in the water. I turned around in a clearing/meadow and went back to the road in the photo. It was really foggy!

When the road ahead is foggy and unclear...
this is not the time for a short cut! (note: I followed the dirt road a little while more, found pavement and entered the GPS coordinates again. I found a delightful little waterfall, just as the sky cleared and the sun came out!
