Canoe Chapel

Kind of slept in this morning - missed a call from Dylan on our cell phone. His message included "I love you quadrupla" and "Turn on the phone already!"
We lounged around reading the paper, drinking coffee, and gabbing most of the morning. Bill made us all bacon and eggs.
Then we were off to the woods again, searching for the Mason Canoe Chapel. This time we followed the cache owner's directions, and we did find it - but I must say, the back roads in that area are multiple, confusing, and long. The chapel was really really far from the pavement. It's a beautiful spot, and we enjoyed it immensely. We met a young man there who is planning a surprise wedding in October. Can you imagine? He might be the one who gets a surprise. Dick found the cache, and the young man was very interested in what we were doing - we may have a new convert to geo-caching.
We visited the Michigan Firefighters Memorial - a most beautiful spot - it was a virtual cache. At the next cache site (Circle of Sidewalks) Bill was the one who found the cache.


Then we went back to Houghton Lake, packed up, and said good-bye. On the way home we stopped at Coyle's (still Houghton Lake) for lunch, and wound up having dinner. They have a traditional American salad bar, lunch buffet, dessert bar and it was spectacular. Then home again after a couple of enjoyable days.
