Like last year, we biked to the "Curio Shop" gift shop to browse, but mainly to climb the tower to see the bridge and leave our autographs on the wall.

    After leaving the "Curio Shop", some of us loaded up to drive to "Castle Rock" to check it out.

    A trip to St. Ignace wouldn't be complete for us without stopping at the Bridge View Park to take pictures.
