were nice. Except for an hour or so of
afternoon rain, the time was spenet on back roads or on beach,
reading, occasionally swimming and supervising the
setting of the sun.
A leisurely trip to Munising and the very nice
campground on the beach

It tis ALWAYS windy here, hence the umbrella as a
wind break. Like Ford Prefect and his towel, the
umbrella, carried as an essential part of the
emergency kit, has served as a rain, sun and wind
protector, a clothes drier and more. There is a
personal tradition at this campground - If the tent
does not blow down at least once the experience is
incomplete. This trip I returned to camp about 2
p.m. to find a flat tent - much better than
awakening at 2 a.m. under the tent with thunder
boomers, raining cats and poodles outside. What to
do, other than turn over and await dawn - at least
was dry, if not cramped.

On previous trips I had gotten stuck on a back,
sandy road and the road deteriorated to the point
that I choose to turn back. Regrettably in doing so,
swung wide and buried the rig beyond axle deep in
the sand (Took 45 minutes to dig out) (where was the
Ural when needed?) and had taken
a "Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore"

take such a trip bring your stale bread along so can
stand on fantail and feed gulls. Which reminds one
of gulls, stale bread and vodka martinis on the
North Shore, a story best left untold.)
On this
trip took the glass bottom boat, "Shipwreck Tour".

sunken boats, one complete with captains bath tub
and commode, visible, as well as light houses and
eagle nests.
