Nice place to stop and take a photo with a Michigan icon.

Just a quick, fun picture opportunity at the Munising welcome center.

The statue was pretty cool, but apparently Google Maps thinks that because the business behind it is closed the statue is too, which is not true.

It's not really that big a deal. Most pics are taken from angle to make it look bigger than it actually is.
