Isle Royale National Park

Isle Royal.jpg

The year my brother went to Michigan, I was an enthusiastic reader of National Geographic Traveler (and still am). One issue featured an article on Isle Royale, and I remember thinking how I'd love to go there. This wonderful island far up north on Lake Superior, closer to Canada than to the U.S.; a hidden jewel in the backyard of Michigan; one of the least known national parks; a place where auroras appear. That was eight years ago.

I'll make it there next summer. I will.

Maybe I'll even make it there tonight when I dream. If I dream. If I get any sleep.

I'll get to sleep. I will.

i'm sure you'll get yourself there somehow. You'll HAVE to!

Sleep: I should get more of it too. Been keeping too many late nights.

Ireland! I'm besotted with that country too. I hope you make it there, A L. Then bring back plenty of pictures.
