Pete’s Lake campground isn’t really near anything in particular, but the town of Munising is a 20 minute drive north back up to the shore of Lake Superior. It’s another one of those small, quaint waterfront towns that seem to only exist in summer except for a handful of hearty locals.  I found a surprising amount of outdoor art and local art galleries to peruse.

Munising and lake superior in general has a huge maritime history

Exploring town definitely doesn’t take all day, so we drove west a little bit to see the old blast furnace originally used for smelting iron.  I found a nice piece of slag, but no more interesting rocks because the water was pretty rough.  Nice piece of history though!

apparently it used to be twice that tall
