Monday, July 16. There was a lot of road construction on Hwy 2 before we got to the bridge. Only delayed us about 30 minutes and we still arrived at the park by 4:30. We are at the TeePee RV Park and Campground on the waters of Lake Huron. (I think it's Lake Huron, will double check) The weather is overcast, hot and humid... just like being in Florida! We were drenched by the time we got the rig set up and tired sitting outside to have our evening glass of wine but gave up and went inside to the a/c! It's a nice park, busy with lots of kids but at least it's on the water.
(insert picture of park here. We later realized we didn't have any pics of the park!)
Tuesday, July 17. We took the ferry over to Mackinaw Island today. The ride took us under the Mackinac Bridge that we had driven over the day before. It's a huge bridge, rivaling the size of the Sunshine Skyway bridge across the mouth of Tampa Bay.
There are no motor vehicles on the island, only bicycles and horse drawn rigs like carts and carriages. The weather was perfect today, not too hot and not too humid. After walking around the island for awhile we stopped at a bistro for lunch and a cool pitcher of beer. Hey, we aren't driving today! A shuttle picked us up at the campground and took us to the ferry launch and it will take us back to the campground when we return. I had scallops and Mike had fish, both were delicious. The beer was from a local brewery in Cheboygan.
Of course you can't go to Mackinaw Island without purchasing fudge, that's how you become a "fudgie." Our fudge purchase was made at Murdick's, they had a great selection and a great crew working in the shop. The hardest part was picking which ones to buy, they all looked good!
By mid-afternoon we were ready to head back to the campground. Another fun day of adventure under our belts.
