Did the Walk Between the Falls Saturday

My wife and I walked between the upper and lower Tahquamenon Falls last Saturday. It turned out to be a beautiful day, but the mosquitoes were thick! The first shot is the upper falls, then some Jack-In-The-Pulpits, deer, beaver damage, lower falls, and final button. Our traveling companion told us that there are shelves in the lower falls picture that you can actually swim out to and under and sit there under the waterfall. The small section of the lower falls picture doesn't show all of the lower falls as there is an island splitting the river and there are falls on each side. Enjoy!

Dennis, the lady we hiked with lives just down from the 76 station there by the lower falls. She said her son used to swim out there and sit under the ledges and that was while we sat by the section of lower falls in the picture. That was probably years ago as she is 71 years old. BTW, she made the whole 4 mile hike. They probably would frown on anyone getting out there today. It certainly is a beautiful area and while we haven't been out on the trails in the winter yet, we do visit the falls throughout the year.

No I didn't stop by the bear ranch. I used to inspect different exhibits like that and pretty much got my fill during that 6.5 years of my life. Apparently if you take the Tooneyville Trolley there is an old dumpsite on the route where the bear hang out and the riders get to see them. The bear probably hear the train and come out of the woods for a handout. Of course, you can't do that, but you know how that goes!
