The Sound of Power Spanish River Lake Power

Every place we stay we like to find out about the history of the area.  We always have questions,like why is there a town in Canada called Espanola and why was the river named the Spanish river in the French speaking area. "The river's name and the name of the nearby towns of Espanola and Spanish are said to be due to French explorers and Jesuit priests encountering Ojibwe peoples speaking Spanish in the area, apparently as a result of a Spanish woman having been taking captive during an expedition far to the south." Interesting.  In Canada the Native Americans are called People of the First Nation.

If you copy this link you can hear the water fall.  I hope on you tube.

We are now at Lake Superior for the 4th of July at Bayview in Hiawatha National Forest, almost boondocking, which means free camping-it is costing us $9 a night for pit toilets, no showers or electricity, but that is fine with us until we have to get rid of our sewage.  The lake is really big and I like walking along the beach.   Pat calls it the Sea of Superior.  Photos to follow.  I still can't seem to figure out how I use to embed them.  

The Michigan Peninsula is where Lakes Huron, Michigan and Superior meet.  Lot of interesting places to view we hope to bike to a lighthouse tomorrow. 

 Internet goes in and out.  Battery lasting on computer and phone ok.
