Da Brudders were recently off on another adventure and this time, they invited a good friend to join them. The trio headed off to Skanee, in Baraga County, north of L’Anse, where they explored around Big Eric’s Bridge that spans the Huron River, on the west end of the Huron Mountains, part of the wilderness at its best. The bridge is actually named after a real person, Big Eric Erickson, but not much is known about him, except for local stories. They say he was a large Swede from Skanee, that he spoke with a thick Swedish accent and that he logged for the Ford Motor Company that had a factory in Pequaming. I thought that was an interesting story to go along with the Fall exploring of Da Brudders and their friend. Even though it was somewhat cloudy that day, the guys found some beautiful fall colors around those parts.

We have a video of the Huron River flowing under Big Eric’s Bridge, from Erick Dircks. If you enjoy the sounds of the water rushing, make sure you turn your volume up.

What an enchanting set!
Beautiful colors, beautiful day
and a sweet video. Just the
thing to cure what ails ya.

…almost.

That's another absolutely stunning spot to hit in
the Fall.

Mt Bohemia is third!! I had to go back to one of
the voting reminders....yeehaw! Moving on up....

Nice pictures. I haven't been here
so it must go on my list. Thanks
for sharing.

Yes, I was happy to see they're up
to number 3.

Looks very similar to the Autumn adventures we used to go on. Beautiful! So many bittersweet memories! The vid was great too!

Beautiful pics & video, especially like the 5th pic!

Big Eric sounds like maybe a takeoff of an old
classic Country song, by Mr. Jimmy Dean!! Ya'll know
which one I'm talking about, don't you, Big Bad
John!!

Going through a Pasty Craze, just ordered a half
dozen more, they are so gooooood!!

Very easy to get to, Deb. Paved road almost all the way. Plus, it's then just a short jump to the mouth of the river with a nice sandy beach.

Also, great primitive camping there at the State Forest Campground.

Here's a much more gentle experience.

We've been to the mouth of the
Huron, D.A. That beach is
awesome! But I've never been here.

Deb,

When you're on Skanee Road, bear left onto the gravel at McComb Corner instead of turning left, staying on the blacktop. Then 1/2 mile further down.

Oops! I meant "bear right instead of turning left".

Thanks, D.A. Now I just have to
remember that next year, lol.
