Day 8 Gore Bay

With gas at $4.80 a gallon on Mackinac Island I elected to motor over to St. Ignace to get fuel. It's only 5 miles away and gas was $3.85.

We didn't start as early as we could have.  It was 11am before we got on the "road" to Gore Bay.

The lake was like glass for the entire run.  Made for a great ride. 

It's 100 miles from Mackinac Island.  We made a couple stops along they way to see the Martin Reef lighthouse and the DeTour Reef lighthouse.  Both are only viewable from the water.  So far that's 3 lighthouses added to our list of visits.

The town of Gore Bay is tiny.  The surrounding area is mostly undeveloped and really beautiful.

We ate at a local restaurant and walked around to take some pictures.  Time to look at the local guide book to plot tomorrow's travel.
