Back to the lake before returning home

Up by 6, into the car by 7.  There was no dilly-dallying around this morning.  I cranked up the bialetti, moved all of my remaining bags out onto the picnic table, pulled down the mosquito netting, gulped down my espresso and began the final half-mile hike back to the car.  It was really cold, and I could see my breath.  The steam was beautiful as it rose off the lake and I scared the large birds on the lake one final time as I lugged all of my remaining gear to the car.  Thud, thud, thud from the birds wings echoed over the silent lake.  Its pretty cool to be the only human up and about and have the whole Harlow Lake area to yourself.

There was frost on the windshield when I got to my car.  I dug around for my ice scraper, but it wasn't a very hard frost and most of it dripped down the windshield as the car was warming up.

I stopped at the rock outcropping one last time for a quick pic before hitting the road.  Its amazing how much the leaves began to turn colors during my short week. This area must be stunning during peak colors in fall.

The sun was rising over Lake Superior as I approached Lakeshore Dr.

As I was heading towards Munising, There was a thick frost where the fog had hit some of the pine trees.  Unfortunately the camera just couldnt pick up how cool it actually looked.

For all of the times that we have referenced the "Seney Stretch", I didn't realize it was an official name.  

Passing over the bridge about 930am, foggy here too!..Just a beautiful morning!

Crazy puffy clouds greet me has I head further downstate towards the cottage to help my mom close up.
