East through Cedarville, Les Cheneaux Islands, De Tour, and onto Drummond Island

I moved along the main road and the shoulder was plenty wide, smooth and clear of debris. I stayed in Cedarville which developed in 1884 as part of the lumber area. Now it is a wonderful vacation area.

You will see some very big sailboats on the Great Lakes. Some have sleeping quarters.

This is just one of the places you can rent gear to enjoy the waters. Brave souls even go out in the colder weather too.

I will try this on warmer days.

From Cedarville you will find Les Cheneaux Islands. There are 36 small islands along a 12 mile stretch of Lake Huron.

On the eastern tip of the Upper Peninsula you will find the Village of De Tour. The gray line above indicates the US-Canadian border. Drummond Island is across the straits on the right border of this map.

Metis are a multi ancestral indigenous group in Canada and the US that lived in the this area.  Fur trade was very big in this area as the Europeans spread through the region.

The De Tour reef light station. The gap is very narrow and tricky to navigate.

Drummond Island is the 7th largest lake island in the world and the 3rd largest in Lake Huron. It is 134 square miles. This is the north shore showing a salt water coral bed. http://www.visitdrummondisland.com/fossil-ledges.html

Another view of the fossil ledges. It is hard to believe that salt water once was in this area. There are mineral deposits throughout Michigan.

Going to Drummond Island is worth the trip.

Some areas are best with the mountain bike.

Here the road tour tires will work.
