Upper Peninsula Color Report 2018

Posted on September 13, 2018 by Mike Sonnenberg Posted in autumn .

I was in the Upper Peninsula over the past weekend ( Sept 7-11, 2018) and I traveled along the Lake Michigan shoreline over to Menomonee and then up the Keweenaw and then along the Lake Superior shoreline to Brimley. all the days I was there it got into the upper 70’s and I think the warm weather is holding off the trees from changing colors. There were a few random sparklers as Bob Ross calls them, but other than that it was all green.  With the temps getting into the 80’s this weekend I am thinking the trees will wait even longer. I am no expert but I am thinking the trees will start the last weekend in September and maybe peek in the first half of October.

If you planning a trip to leaf peeping in the U.P. you still have a few weeks until the color will be spectacular.

by the way, if you are looking for a place to sleep,  here are some of the hotels I stayed at while I was up there.

The White House motel near Calumet.

Munising Motel

Travelers Motel near Bessemer

The Tip of the World

Posted on September 12, 2018 by Mike Sonnenberg Posted in Nature .

I went out this past weekend exploring the Upper Peninsula and I made it all the way out to the tip of the Keweenaw Peninsula to see the rocket range. I was awestruck by the beauty of the red copper rocks and blue water of Lake Superior. It was a long drive but well worth the effort. While I was there I noticed a white spec off in the distance. I guy and his young son was there and he told me it was Gull Island Lighthouse.

I wished I could get to the lighthouse but for now, the best I could do was take a pic with my telephoto lens. It looks so eerie on a small rock way out there offshore.

I am looking forward to sharing my photos and stories with you this fall and winter. I know I said that the last post and then bailed on you for a trip to the Upper Peninsula but I figured I better go while I get the chance. I was up there for 5 days and took a lot of pics. I will stay closer to home now and will have time to post more.  and yes I will be doing a post on the rocket range if you are wondering what that is be sure to subscribe to email updates so you won’t miss it.

To help me pay for the “Go-Go Juice“I burned in the jeep calendars are on sale this week. you can look at them HERE
