From here we&#8217;re headed back to So. Indiana with no real exploring planned between now and then.<br \/><br \/>We pulled out of Pioneer Trail Park, Gladstone MI, around 7:30 this morning. Nobody was parked close to us so I didn&#8217;t feel bad about pulling out that early. We continued back tracking until we crossed the Mackinaw Bridge.<\/p>\r\n<p>New territory, once across the bridge we drove down the coast of Lake Huron to Campers Cove Campground, Yet another 30 amp park and hades hot. From here it&#8217;s about 6 miles from the town of Alpena MI. The drive from Mackinaw Bridge was about 90 miles along Lake Huron, but unlike driving along Lake Michigan where the lake could be seen out the window for long distances, along the Lake Huron portion, there were trees on both sides of the road with just the occasional seanic over looks. By this time I was getting tired and just wanted to get to the CG and set up so we didn&#8217;t stop at any of them.<\/p>\r\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-5155 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.rexisretired.com\/?attachment_id=5201'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rexisretired.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/IMG_1569-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.rexisretired.com\/?attachment_id=5202'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rexisretired.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/IMG_1565-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.rexisretired.com\/?attachment_id=5203'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rexisretired.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/IMG_1559-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\r\n<p><br \/>Once we got set up and rested a bit we took a drive to town and explored Bay View Park.

With the Great Lakes water levels up and the apparent toad strangling rain we just miss, some of the road and sidewalk were under water. The humidity was beyond high and the sun was shining brightly and I don&#8217;t think I could have been able to do the walk, however along the lake a breeze was blowing so it was doable.<\/p>\r\n<p>Here in the Campground water was standing everywhere, our fire ring is set in an indention in the ground and it&#8217;s FULL of water.<\/p>\r\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-5155 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.rexisretired.com\/?attachment_id=5206'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rexisretired.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/P7270012-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.rexisretired.com\/?attachment_id=5207'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rexisretired.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/P7270007-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.rexisretired.com\/?attachment_id=5208'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rexisretired.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/IMG_1405-1-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\r\n<p><br \/><br \/>7\/28\/2020<\/p>\r\n<p>This morning we started our day by driving up to 40 Mile Point Lighthouse.

The old army jeep in the pic was not just a decoration, the guy came out and started driving it around. We just walked around and took a few pictures and hit the road.

We couldn&#8217;t get to the older one, they had the road blocked off and the path from the small marina to the lighthouse was flooded. We could see it from the breakwater at the end and it was smaller than the new one.\u00a0Again the walk was close to a mile. On the way home we drove through a brief but heavy downpour , only a slight sprinkle started as we pulled in at home. 2 minutes later the sun was shining bright.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-7 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-7 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-7 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-7 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-7' class='gallery galleryid-5155 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.rexisretired.com\/?attachment_id=5236'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rexisretired.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/P7280114-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.rexisretired.com\/?attachment_id=5237'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rexisretired.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/P7280112-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.rexisretired.com\/?attachment_id=5238'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rexisretired.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/P7280106-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.rexisretired.com\/?attachment_id=5239'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rexisretired.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/P7280102-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.rexisretired.com\/?attachment_id=5240'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rexisretired.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/P7280094-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.rexisretired.com\/?attachment_id=5241'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rexisretired.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/P7280096-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.rexisretired.com\/?attachment_id=5242'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rexisretired.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/P7280090-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.rexisretired.com\/?attachment_id=5246'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rexisretired.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/IMG_1585-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-7-5246\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-7-5246'>\n\t\t\t\tThis is the one we couldn&#8217;t walk to\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl>\n\t\t\t<br style='clear: both' \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\r\n<p>The End<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>7\/27\/2020 Miles Driven 232 Elevation 650\u00a0 This will probably be my last post &#8230;&#8230;&#8230;. until sometime in August when we start traveling again.
