There are a few more below this one. 8/21/2018 After spending the better part of the summer in Wisconsin and Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, sadly, it’s time to start our southern migration back to Southern Indiana. Mary has a Dr. Appointment and I’m going to see the Dr. about my shoulder. Hopefully it won’t take to …

The $7 Bridge

8/18/2018 Around 6:20 this morning we grabbed the camera and tripod then walked around the campground and set things up, along the river, to take some sunrise pictures, while we didn’t see the sun through the clouds, we did get to watch two massive, extra large ships pass each other. Then we unloaded the bike …

Boring?

August 18, 2018 / Rex / 0 Comments

8/17/2018 First up this morning was a walk around the campground . Then it was a boat ride through the Soo Lock. First, we were early to get our choice of seats…………..lets just say that not everyone respects a single line, the late comers made themselves a second line, granting themselves the choicest seats. Having said …

I wouldn’t exactly call our approximately 155 mile move totally uneventful but interesting. We pulled out of Gitche Gumee campground, Marquette MI about 9:00, first stop was directly across the road to hook up the jeep. The campground is directly across the road from a scenic pullout. We walked over there a couple of times …

8/13/2018 PM With the AC cranking we ate the sandwiches we brought with us while sitting in the Jeep, the intent had been to find a shady spot but after the first boat ride and tickets already purchased by Mary, while I found a place to park, I lucked into one close and we only …

8/11/201 We drove down to kitch-iti-kipi or Big Spring. We have been there a couple of other times years ago, I think it’s pretty, neat a river just forms right there. The spring is about 45 ft deep and the water is co clear, you can practically see individual grains of sand moving around where …

9/10/2018 We drove up to Pictured Rock today, it was a great day to get out. In a typical Rex flub, he didn’t pay much attention in reading the signs, so the mile hike we took ended up at a lake and NOT a Waterfalls as expected. I should mention Here that Mary was with …
