After our late evening, we took our time this morning drinking coffee and drying out from the overnight downpours. With Chapel Rock as our backdrop, we headed out a little after noon to see the most spectacular portions of Pictured Rocks. Before doing so we backtracked 1.5 miles to revisit Spray Falls. She was flowing mightily and made for quite a sight. From there we poked our beast of a kayak in and out of the many sea caves and bays carved out if the sometimes 300 ft rock cliffs. Every color of the rainbow appeared along our journey. Mom was particularly fond of the greens while I stuck to the oranges. We lunched on Miner's beach and then headed on into Munising. Hoping to get a shower but failing to find a hotel with a room we had no choice but to paddle another 4 miles to a campground instead. To our suprise the campground had full service showers and bathrooms. Unfortunately after our 24 mile paddle all we wanted to do was sleep. Carl, the local outfitter in town and friend of ours was so kind as to bring us some ice cream to send us off to bed with.
