at a lovely stay we had at this great RV Park.10:15 a.m. - We pulled off the road to view a beautiful city park along the way as we travel along the shoreline of Lake Michigan. The sun is out full force now and not a cloud in sight with a temperature of 70 degrees. The sun is making the lake sparkle like diamonds. We stopped here in Manistique to gas up for probably the last time until we get to Mt. Pleasant, with gas at $2.69 a gallon.
12:15 p.m. - Stopped at our "usual" stop when we come up to the Upper Peninsula. Frank needed to get his fix of smoked fish-- which he LOVE
S! We also bought some Pasties--(past-ies) that the UP is noted for and some good ole Black Cherry Ice Cream! yum yum. We are still driving along the Lake Michigan shoreline and there are a few white cap's appearing on the lake now, but it is still a beautiful crystal blue color. We are having to wait for some oncoming traffic to clear because of road construction. Every state we have been in has had road/or detours because of road construction.
1:00 p.m. - Crossing the Mackinac Bridge at 69 degrees with sunny skies and the cost for us in the RV pulling the Jeep i

s $10.00 just a car is $3.00. We are on our way to the KOA Campground in Mackinaw City. ( The city is spelled different and pronounced different also) city is Mack-in-aw the bridge is pronounced the same way but spelled Mack-in-ac.2:30 p.m. - We unpacked, and hooked up and now are on our way to Sault Ste. Marie to the "SOO" locks. It is about one hour away and the drive is just lovely. Lyle and Elaine just love these hardwoods and all the green. We hung around the area because at 5:40 p.m. a ship was scheduled to come through the Locks and we
wanted to see that happen. We watched it come in and it is amazing how the water in the Locks is so low for the ships to come through and then raised, quite fast to make the passageway as deep as lake Michigan so the ship can pass on through. this ship was on the way to Thunder Bay in Michigan carrying wheat on board and then another one came in about 10 minutes later and it was from Norway and going back with a load of cement on board. After we saw all that we had a "Yooper" dinner of pasties and fish and chips. Stopped at the Mackinac Crossings which is a m
ini mall
and went through all the shops and bought our tickets to take the ferry boat across to Mackinac Island tomorrow another full day in store. We did not get back to the RV Park until 10:30 p.m.
