"The Porkies": Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park, our last stop on the UP

We don't have a picture of it, but one of the fun things that happened while we were in the Porkies was that we had a brief visit from nephew Pete, his wife Karen, sons Joe and Sam, with the rest of their scout troop from Chicago.  They stopped by for a brief visit at the end of a several day Boy Scout backpacking trip to the Porkies. It was just happenstance that they were there at the same time we were.

There were beautiful overlooks all along the Escarpment Trail.

On our last evening in the Porcupine Mountains, we actually saw a porcupine up in a tree eating leaves.
Unfortunately, it was sunset, so you will have to trust me that this is a porcupine.
