Follow along as Pearl and I discover all the interesting people and places in the USA.
I just wanted to check in and let you know all is good with me. I’m enjoying the beautiful days here in northern Michigan. This has been a great introduction for slowing down on my travels. After 7 years, it’s a nice change of pace. We’ll have to see how fall goes as I head south towards warm weather. I plan on continuing my travels just at a slower pace this fall and winter. Please don’t forget to check out my blog as I will continue to post my adventures.
It’s always fun to get a small taste of home ownership. Beth continues to improve her home and is happy for any help she can get. Lol! We work well together and the front garden and new banister are completed. And of course after all the work, we did play some.
Just a few pictures from my travels here in Michigan. Had fun visiting my cousin, unfortunatelymy cousinDee had a unexpectedtrip to meet her new grand baby. Then a quick trip to see my brother and sister in law and got some fresh veggies from their garden. Then flags at both my Mom and Dad’s grave were changed. Oh, and Beth found this book for me! LOL!
I’ve stayed here before in the fall but I was lucky to find a lot of openings during this busy time. Site 56 was great, very huge and no neighbors on one side. Pearl blocked the neighbors on the other side. Actually all the sites here were huge and very well marked off. The beach was beautiful! The trail system even better. The humidity could have been a Lot lower. I was melting when I finished the Lagoon and Marsh trails but it was worth the effort.
I’ve stayed here before and wanted to come back in order to go on a shipwreck adventure. There’s a few options to see some of these wrecks. Glass bottom boat, kayak, dive, maybe snorkeling as some are pretty shallow. I opted for the kayak tour. There were 6 of us and 2 guides. 5 in the family, that left me to be adopted. The weather was perfect, water on Lake Huron smooth as glass. It was about a 45 minute boat ride out, then 2 hours paddling, then back to Alpena where the adventure began. I may go back again and do the glass bottom boat tour but I enjoyed my time on the water.
This was our 37th year getting together to celebrate our friendships. There were 10 of us that got together this year. Birthday celebrations took place as well as remembering our 2 souls in heaven. As well as reminiscing about past years. With that said, what happened at girls weekend, stays within our memories and our time capsule Earl. Till next year!
After some discussion, Beth agreed to go camping with me. She had her own tent, cot, mattress pad and a bed for Miss Annie. Fisherman island was the first place I ever camped at. Then it was a county park called Bells Bay. There’s been a lot of memories made here and I’m happy this trip included Beth and Annie.
Adding the campground map for you.
It was a great month of July staying at one of my favorite campgrounds. Until next year Fayette Historic state park.
Not much happening with me but thought I’d share a couple of pictures.
There were some pretty smokey days here last week but skies are now clearing up. Just a few pictures of how bad it was.
