Delta County Run

I have only run 3 U.P. counties at this point. It’s time to knock a few more out. The plan was to visit Dickinson, Menominee, Delta, and Schoolcraft. However, I had an appointment that ran late, so I’m crossing the bridge at 5:00 PM. I’ll probably need to replan and visit Delta first since it is about 3 hours from the bridge – new plan.

This was my first view of Escanaba about 3 hours later. Impressive!

Getting close to the starting point of my route. I’m running out of daylight and must move quickly.

I asked around for a place to change into my running clothes and was directed to a wine shop. I used the restroom to change and, on my way out, I walked past an incredible performer. This video captures her performance. I was bummed that I didn’t have time to stay and listen or buy something from the wine shop, but I had to move on. If you know who this is, please contact me – she was amazing!

All changed and heading south on Tenth Street. It was pretty quiet in terms of traffic.

There are amazing homes in this downtown area.

Heading back east, toward the water, I passed a home and saw a man and his wife walking back carrying a six-pack. I jokingly pleaded with the gentleman to give me a single ale. He laughed, and the wife said, “You got this!” Exactly what I needed to hear.

Heading northeast along the bay.

Looking out at the water.

There was a play structure, and I believe there were tennis courts on the left side of the road.

Continuing along the path, which heads out to the water about a quarter mile further.

Large areas of great-looking grass toward the water.

As I approached the trail leading out to the water to the east, there was a harbor with a lot of boats.

At the base of the trail that heads east was the Delta County Historical Society Building.

Looking and heading east toward the water.

Saw a buoy in the bay on the north side.

Jogging along the northern path by the outlet, I noticed numerous American flags lining the way. I wondered if it was because of Memorial Day weekend.

Standing at the eastern tip of the peninsula, gazing out into the bay.

Observing towards the northeast within the bay.

Returning in the direction of the west.

The prominent downtown hotel is visible even from this distance.

Crossing back onto the original path, I glanced towards the northwest.

There’s a beautiful fountain located at the base of the peninsula.

Taking a closer look at the northwest part of the bay, I noticed several aspects of this run that reminded me of Traverse City.

As we headed back towards town, a construction crane downtown came into view.

A few geese were very close to me, positioned between the sidewalk and the road.

First glimpse of downtown.

A friendly little squirrel scurrying towards the tree for safety.

I loved seeing the map of Delta County on the government building, with the eagle statue in front.

Approaching that building, is it a hotel or perhaps housing? I’m guessing it’s a hotel; it reminds me of the Park Place in TC.

Continuing westward in the downtown area.

ChatGPT For some reason, this bridge caught my eye. I’m heading to Dickinson County to rest, then planning to rise early and explore a couple more counties: Dickinson and Menominee.

This could possibly be my Saturday morning run after completing Menominee and Dickson the night before.
