New Blog Strategy

Okay... I know that I didn't get off to a good start with my plan to make frequent blog updates. So now, I'm going to give a "bulleting" strategy to see if that makes the updates easier. Here goes:

Camping at: Woodland Park, Grand Marais, Mich - on the shore of Lake Superior

Food Highlight: Pasties (Michigan Upper Peninsula specialty) for dinner at Mariner Restaurant in Munising, Mich

Memorable moments: Toured Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore with short hikes to view a sand dune, a waterfall (very mosquitoey), and view of the picture rocks which are eroded cliffs with mineral stains. Walked the beach and collected a variety of stones including a handful of the pea sized gravel. The lake had small waves lapping on shore. Unlike an ocean beach, there was no sign of shells, seaweed, or any smell. After returning to the RV, we sat around a campfire with campground neighbors..married 69 years and who have been camping since '61! In true Michigan style, he blames the drop in NASCAR attendance to the inclusion of Toyota cars.

Tomorrow, we head towards Wisconsin.
