We left the KOA in Wapakoneta about 8:30 heading for Fort Wayne. The GPS redirected us up 127 thru Van Weet and then left to Fort Wayne. It was and interesting drive thru the countryside. Out of Van Weet to the Indiana border there were lots of electric wind turbines scartered all over the place. We got interstate 69 towards Michigan. At Battle Creek we redirected to Grand Haven on the West Coast of Michign. The closer we got the more it cloudied up and a few miles out it came down pour of over 2 inches in a very short time. We were able to get a camp site at Grand Haven State Park.
It was overcast the rest of the day.
The next day (8/20) it was very clear and nice. We got an early start on our way to Traverse City, (we had heard it was a pretty place). Before we arrived it got heavy overcast so we did not do much site seeing, we went on toward Mackinac City thru Petoskey. We had planned on crossing the Mackinac Bridge and camp in St Ignace and take the ferry the next day to Mackinac Island for the day. Before we got there it starting raining so we stayed in Mill Creek RV CG in Mackinac City.
Thursday 8/21 it was still a little cloudy but nice (63 deg). (First day we have had the sun. ) We got out early, gassed up and headed across the bridge. We had planned on starting on Hwy 2 right across the bridge but decided to detour to the Paradise City and WhiteFish point on Lake Superior. That was interesting and then back tracked back to Paradise. We had lunch at a local resturant and then continued on to the Tahquamenon falls. Continued on toward Marquette looking for Moose, as this is a good area to see them. It was a pretty drive as a lot of it was a long the shore of Lake Superior. Tonight were are in the MICHIGAMME SHORES CG, in Champion
