RE: Michigan-upper peninsular
FINALLY,
After being among the "yoopers" as a true tourist, I got 4G coverage!!!! ![]() First 6 more shots from the boat show, this time some eye candy for the engine heads! ![]() 7- shot out my front window at Loonspoint RV park 4 miles from the show in Cedarville, we had a great view of the lake from our lakeside spot and watched all the wooden boats "play" in the water after and before the show all week long- where Waldo was staying 8- Freighter passing between Drummond Island and the town of De Tour on its way to the SOO locks 9- Some "fog" rolling off the lake at Detour 10- The Mac bridge from "Castle Rock", on I75 Yes we climbed it with the Dogs and they got a biscuit as a treat from the attraction owners, well, 1 climbed, but the disabled one got a Taxi Ride from me! And, at the request of David for some more pics that I am just mess'in around with the camera while being a tourista......... 11-Lighthouse and Marina in the old town section of St. Ignace. We got a couple of fish baskets to go and sat in the marina picnic tables eating lunch with the "boys" with a killer view of Mac Island 12-14 Mac bridge from the "straits" state park overlook after our picnic.......we purchased an annual state park pass for 30 bucks so we could go into any park we want.....8 bucks a time so you may want to consider that if you do the tourist thing up here. Last one was a freighter passing under the Mac, we got really lucky this trip and saw freighters EVERYWHERE! ![]() 15-17 Sunset last night at our new place, another lakeside park....stay tuned for the answer next week! ![]() last - this am a view from the salon of the bus, I posted these to show even though we DO NOT have a lakeside spot this time, with a bus and the "high Floor", just about ANY spot has a view! ![]() FWIW, I usually do not do a trip report but I wanted to show the power of WAGU..... we threw this trip together in 1 day after I got the PTO done, no planning, never been here. We were just going to stay home this summer. We looked at the US weather and I told Donna, if we go SOMEWHERE, I WANT A COOLER TEMP, she said Michigan was the place to be as the Pacific Northwest was twice the fuel cost!!!! Only two places cool this year............ I casually asked a question about Michigan on WAGU, Jack kindly responded...... last minute reservations or none at all..........result "killer spontaneous unplanned vacation"!!!!!!! A big THANKS to Jack, David, and Mike and the members!!!!! This can happen to you!!!!!!! All you have to do is ask a question on WAGU!!!!!
