Marquette

Today we are on the move again, first to the next town west, Marquette, about an hour away. It has a super Walmart and we need to replenish supplies and will also eat breakfast. This is where the biker rally is so we are a little unsure. We have continued to see tons of Harley's going toward Marquette and away.
As we pull into the town the first thing I see is Kohls, then Target, Michaels, and Pier 1. This is civilization! We found a Perkins for breakfast and then on to shopping. There were lots of biker dudes and chicks in the restaurant and walking along the roads, bikes parked everywhere but they are not adding to the traffic.
I will say again how friendly the people are up here. I was getting a trash  can off the shelf  to get a better look at it and a man passing offered to help. Though I declined, he insisted, putting his purchases down to do so. There does not seem to be a price and he helped me look, then helped me find the right garbage bag for it. He suggests I go to the paint counter and ask about price and on the way I encountered Gene so I stopped. The man came along and told Gene about our adventure and I told him I was still on the way to find help. He moved on but as I came to the end of the row, there he was with an employee who he showed the can to, then showed her where to find them. I followed and sure enough a price is established. Thankfully he did not go to checkout with us.
After going west for awhile along Lake Superior with stunning views, we turned north to the upper peninsula of the upper peninsula. Again, we skirted the lake for awhile, then climbed into mountains. Who knew? We passed some interesting towns and then get into dense forest. The thermometer in the car reads 88 and Gene is saying we might as well be at home if it going to be that hot. Then we start descending and curving and all at once there is a stop sign and the lake is a block in front of it.
We are in Copper Harbor which is just about the end of the road, literally. Our campground is clean and neat with good showers and frontage on a lake. There are a whole series of lakes with just a narrow strip of land between them and Superior. The sites are mostly grass but they are quite narrow, sort of like being in a parking lot. We are growing somewhat accustomed to this. It will not be as dusty as the last place.  Unfortunately they are having a heat wave and it will be in the 80s while we are here. With no haze, the sun really beats on you. The forecast calls for it to cool off the day we leave.
A good surprise is we have WiFi, due to  being parked just across from the bathhouse where it emanates from.  Our new friends, Rick and Pam, had stayed at the State Park and had no connection. We do not have cellular, though we had it most of the way up.
We will spend the next two days exploring. This was a copper and iron ore mining area. You can tour a couple of mines, actually going down in them. We say thanks but no thanks!
