We stayed at Black River campground and Mariana, it’s in the middle of nowhere, near the Michigan\/Wisconsin border on the Michigan shore of Lake Superior in the Ottawa National Forest where we had absolutely no cell signal. Well, we must have had a little service from time to time because depending where you were in the van our watches and phones would change times. We were near the Eastern and Central timezone change so apparently one end of the van picked up a signal from a different tower. It’s interesting to never know what time it is.<\/p>\n
About the steps, while there were less than a zillion, probably closer to at least 100 million, well that’s what it felt like anyway. We went to 5 different water falls along the black river. Funny thing about waterfalls located in narrow river gorges, the only way to reach them is to start at the top. The forestry service built all these nice steps leading down to view points of the falls. Well, guess what, one needs to walk back UP all those steps. We walked to the five falls from 4 different parking lots.<\/p>\n
They also had a swinging bridge across the river at the marina, that lead to the long nice looking beach on Lake Superior.<\/p>\n
