Where in the Great Lakes Are We?

This is my favorite harbor in Lake Michigan.  Inland Seas visits here each July.  Where are we? 

For a hint, and a look at the entire shoreline of the UP, go to the Shoreviewer web site.

Inland Seas at Fayette

Fayette is one of my favorite harbors in the Great Lakes.  Site of an abandoned iron smelting town, it is now a beautifully maintained State Park.
