Up North: Welcome to Our Morning!

Late yesterday we moved a whopping 8 miles up the east coast of the Keweenaw Bay of Lake Superior in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
For the next week we are park at Pete's and Lily's rv park & marina. The have five huge rv spaces right on a sheltered bay where Henry Ford once had a mill. Pete & Lily have owned the property over 40 years; now in their 90s, Pete is not well and Lily is a feisty woman who is holding things together. The place has been for sale for a couple years and could be a great investment for commercial expansion. But ya gotta keep in mind that summer is only a couple months and the rest of the year can be intolerable for many people - us, for instance. I will post more about this historic place through the week.

We are the only campers now, hoping for a whole week of privacy. Also hoping to get out our kayaks and perhaps also do some fishing. We have heard that Coho salmon can be landed right from shore here and there are abundant walleye and lake trout.





Today we expect thunderstorms. The wind has picked up a bit and the water is not glassy smooth like it was last night.
