Stayed at MICHIGAMME SHORES CG last night near Champion, MI. (Hwy 28/41) Got on the road about 9 heading for Duluth area. Crossed into Wisconsin about 12 at Ironwood and found gas about 15 cts cheaper/gal. Stopped at a Indian casino at junction of 28 & 2 for gas and have lunch (in Rv).
Later stopped at Anicon water falls near Superior for a while. Continued on thru Duluth and that is one busy place of shipping grain and such. Hugh elevators all over the place. General Mills has a hugh complex there.
We have been having a lot of difficulty getting wireless service every since we got on to the upper pennesular. By the time we got a signal and started calling for a camp site we found nothing was available because this is the last weekend before school starts. We kept going and whenever we got a signal we would call somebody. One CG said try the Corp of engineers campground near Grand Rapids. We thought they were on the east side of Grand Rapids, anyway I stopped in Warha asking about it and the fellow said he thought it was on the West side of town, Anyway he suggested we stop at the American Legion campground about a mile down the road.That is where we are and we have good signal.
We have had mostly overcast skies and rain since we got into Michigan except yesterday morning, notice by the pics of thre lakes I sent. It has been very chilly and rainy around the lakes the last few days but when we started toward Grand Rapids and got away from the lakes it has warmed up. Will be back in shorts tomorrow. Although I heard the camp host here that it is going to be down in the 40's in North Dakota by the time we get there. His grandson works in the oil fields in western ND.
Testing the waters
Weather sounds great! We had temps in the high 90s with heat index over 100. Like the pic of the waterfall. The lake looks like the rocky shoreline of the coast. Hard to believe its a lake. It looks beautiful. Drive safe.
