My Morning Commute

I have to brag a little to all of my friends who DON'T live up here. Well, this summer anyhow. This winter, they will be laughing at me. I love my morning commute. I say that with visions of the lake in my head. Teal Lake. Lake Superior. (there will be a duplicate blog this winter about my morning commute and it will not be so nice and happy. It will probably be written out of frustration with shaky hands from days of white knuckling my steering wheel). The traffic is not too terrible. It flows pretty smooth. I drive through Ishpeming on highway 41 and then down the hill past Teal Lake in Negaunee. It really is a pretty little lake. Sometimes like glass, sometimes covered with fog, sometimes with ice and snow. Any day you pass it, it's beautiful. It's like Lake Superiors VERY baby sister. A spec of water to the big lake but still. Still pretty. Once you come up the ridge and around the corner, you see the big lake, Lake Superior, well most days you can see it. Some days it is bright blue and you just take a breath in. Some days it is all white and you cannot see where the lake ends and the sky begins. When I park at my office, I am at the Marina pretty much, well across the street. I park by the lake every morning on Spring Street. I know, it's terrible. I take it in every morning. Again, come back this winter and look for my post on my morning commute. I guarantee it will be way different. Anyhow. Drive from Ish to Marquette someday. You will see what I am talking about. :-)
