We climbed the rock! The Castle Rock, that is. It's a large sea stack overlooking the freeway across from our campground. The owners charge fifty cents to climb the rock stairs to the top, and today they were definitely making plenty of money from climbers and from sales of souvenirs and curios (mainly tawdry junk). The family has owned this business (and the rock) for 80 years.

Then we went downtown and walked along the boardwalk which traverses the lakeshore through downtown. Interpretive signs tell about the history of the harbor, which has funneled fur and timber into the Great Lakes transportation system. Today the harbor serves tourists, mainly those taking the ferries to Mackinac Island, which is what we plan to do tomorrow.
The sky has been clearing, and it looks like we might actually have sun for our visit to the island tomorrow.
