LOCATION: Marquette, MI on the northern coast of Upper Peninsula Michigan. On Lake Superior.
WEATHER: Very pleasant. A little rain. Highs in 60s
It rained most of the night, and we were "attacked" by falling acorns. They make quite a noise bouncing off the Airstream. We stayed cozy and dry inside.
We said good-bye to our friends Tony and Jenny. They are headed back home to Nova Scotia via New England.
Nothing like farewells at the dump station!...
We drove almost the entire day. We crossed the Mackinaw Bridge around noon. It was stormy and windy. There was a wind advisory for RVs to drive @ 20mph. I was petrified and hid my head!
Thankfully, we made it with no problems. We stopped for a BLT sandwich picnic. George had fried some locally smoked bacon over the campfire last night. We are enjoying the end-of-the-season tomatoes.
We decided to stay in Marquette for 2 days, as we haven't been here before. On our way into town, George spotted a brewery, the Chocolay River Brewery. It is a former "Bud" bar, now with their own tasty beer, too. Lots of interesting characters inside.
We got settled in the campsite. We were able to get the PBS station on TV, so watched some of the Roosevelt series by Ken Burns, then listened to Prairie Home Companion. By then, we decided to stay put for the evening.
DINNER: Back-up Dinner Delight: Salmon pate (from daughter Meredith) with saltines. Spaghetti with tuna, artichoke hearts, and capers......all from the back-up food box.
