Ontonagon to the Porky's

I paddled 18 miles or so this morning. It took 4 hours. I decided to camp at the Union Bay campground with so much day left as the afternoon was supposed to be a stormy one. It's supposed to be light variable winds the next couple days so I hope it holds accurate. It rained as I was setting up my tarp but was then showers off and on...though one strong storm just missed us potentially with 60 MPH winds!

Oh..here's the sunset last night.. Not only did I have the 'night light' but they were shooting off serious fireworks last night as well.

Several fishing boats were out in front of the Ontonagon River

The Porky's in the distance

This is an old wooden shipwreck . Note the Great Blue Heron

No beach below the campground so I used the boat ramp

View the other way .. More storminess

West Sleeping River to Ontonagon

I hustled to get going this morning as up to 20 knot winds west winds were forecast. I figured to camp where I'd hoped to get to last night were it not for the storm. The Township Campground a mile from town. It was an easy 17 mile day and potentially a similar shorter day to Union Bay at the start of the Porky's but maybe I'll see if there is a beach access back country site and go further? Supposed to rain tomorrow afternoon so the campground doesn't sound too bad. Anyway here was today.. I left at 7:30 and reached the campground at 11. Only $15 for tenters!

The sunrise becomes more visible all the time .. Note the sand blown into the recesses of my secured kayak.

Fourteen Mile Point .. The old light house property is for sale.. Century 21
