October 11, 2008: Saturday afternoon we visited Tahquamenon Falls in the Upper Peninsula, near Whitefish Bay (mentioned in the song Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald). There are two sets of falls on the Tahquamenon River, 4 miles apart. The upper falls is the 2nd largest east of the Mississippi. They are always beautiful, but it was spectacular with the fall colors, which were just past their peak (they were peak in the northern LP for the drive back to Flint on Monday).
