Camping!

We just got back from a 1900 mile camping trip which was a ton of fun. Our first night was at Black Lake National Forest campground near Hayward, Wisconsin. Although the wind was blowing 20 plus miles per hour the mosquitoes, horse flies and deer flies bothered us. It was so windy (and the sky was clear plus it was hot) we decided not to put the rain tarp on the tent. We regretted that decision at 2 a.m. when rain began to fall and we tried to put the tarp on in the dark.

We had a nice private campsite right on the lake shore were at least fifty green frogs sang us a chorus all night long. In the morning we made hash browns, fake bacon and coffee before heading out to the upper peninsula of Michigan. We had a longer driver than we thought it would be. We arrived at Muskallonge State Park around six in the evening.

The next day we drove west to Munising, Michigan to take our boat tour of Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. Here is a picture of a dock. In a distance a large boat of offloading something black, perhaps coal?

Two boats were leaving for the 1 p.m. cruise. This is the boat we didn't take which was larger and faster than our boat. Our boat had only two decks. In the end we were glad we took the smaller boat. The boat charter service had boarding facilities for dogs so we brought Clover into the kennel room. She wasn't  happy about staying in the kennel but she did very well in there. We picked her up two and a half hours later and she was fine.

This is our view from the lower level of the boat. The upper/outdoor level was completely full by the time we boarded. Just wait until you see the pictures! Pictured Rocks rocks!
