Yippy for the cooler weather. I hate sweating!!! The trees are turning all kinds of beautiful color and the smell of campfires is in the air. Things would be pretty quiet around here if we were not camping a dam highway. Everyone says......oh you will get use to it! What kind of yahoos are these people. You NEVER get use to that noise. We did pick this place to camp for the summer because it was a center point to many Michigan destination and multiple breweries but I am glad we did it and in our younger days of travel or we would not have been able to hear each other over this traffic. It is near impossible to have a conversation without walking away with a sore throat from talking so loud. OK enough of my bitchin!!
We have had a bunch of great last days in this area that included great weather and temps. We traveled around a bit, walked around a bit, golfed a bit and we had a potluck with a bunch of great people today that were all leaving tomorrow for home or their winter destinations. We stuffed ourselves to almost the breaking point with the tons of great food everyone brought. I don't think I will have to eat for the next two days.
This is the last weekend for the barrel train ride then our duties will be done and we can move on to our next adventure. Kentucky for a week, then somewhere in New Mexico for the rest of October and on to San Antonio for 3 months then over to Livingston, TX for two months then hopefully to Alaska for the following summer. Plans can be made in life but never ever should you expect them to go as you wish. We are ok with that and are always up for plan B, C, D......... This was our site with our truck and trailer/one and only home.
We went up to Luddington this week to check out some golf, some beer and some beaches. I truely believe there is enough sand in Michigan to fill every sandbox in the world. It's everywhere and we have to empty our shoes outside daily and sweep more than I have ever swept in my life.
All in all, Michigan has been grand! If we get the opportunity, we will return. We have been to almost every state in the United States, but we have not camped together in all those states. When we do camp in a state that is when we intend to fill it in our map. This hangs just inside the front door and reminds us of how far we have yet to go. Thank goodness we retired early to try to accomplish this.
Last night we has our last fire here at this campground and we had a great fire and burned up all our wood along with a spare electric cord for color. What a great night it was to sit out and consume more of Michigans great beers. We have been so lucky to be so close to so many great breweries on this adventure. Spoiled actually! We fear that our next destinations will not be so full of alcholic goodness. I guess our livers could use the break.
