The calendar says September but the air, wind, and even rain feel more like early October. Never having lived this far north in my life, it seems strange to see touches of autumn on the leaves already. Today I ran away from home and was in-and-out of rain all day long, but I needed to do something enjoyable. First stop was Stoneport, where John G. Munson was loading and Lee A. Tregurtha waited, at anchor. Then it was on to Rogers City. Olive Moore & Menominee were at the Calcite dock there. Decided to make a first time visit to the R.C. maritime museum. Found the guides to be friendly and informative and the extensive historical displays very interesting. A personal pizza to go from the restaurant next door and I headed back to Stoneport where nothing had changed in the three hours I was gone but it was relaxing and rewarding just to sit and watch the ships.
