Pictured rocks

Though we have really enjoyed this setting on Huron, there are other lakes to see and it is time to move on. Today we headed a little south, then west along the shore of Lake Michigan. This view is more dramatic as there are no islands and the water stretches to the horizon. Every restaurant we passed all day offered whitefish and pasties which are like a large empanadas with various meat and veggie fillings. We have yet to try either. We stopped for lunch and had great turkey sandwiches on wonderful bread. Saved half of them for supper.  We overheard the woman behind the counter talking and it seems all her family makes its living from fishing.
 After awhile we turned north, the goal being the Pictured Rocks along Lake Superior at Munising. We had really good two lane roads today with  an occasional passing lane. Most of the time it was just evergreen forests lining the road.

We saw some places that would be good moose habitat, but no moose. The trip was less than 150 miles.
This campground has dirt spaces which is fine until you get rain. They are pull through sites with full hook ups but there is no standardization as to where they will be. There are trees between the sites but because the utilities are shared, there are pairs of trailers facing one another. Like sitting on front porches facing that are about 15 ft from each other. We won't be sitting out tonight anyway as the high today was 69. However, the prediction for Thursday is 84!!
Another bump in the road. Last night we noticed the bottom panel of the jalousie window in the bedroom was loose and Gene said he put it back in place. After our arrival here, we noticed it was completely missing! Thank goodness for the cardboard box and duct tape we had to keep the cold wind out tonight .

Gene came from the shower house still unwashed and mad as a wet hen because there were only two showers and a long line. Actually there are two for men and two for women, but the campground is large. He showered in the trailer and says he will again the next two mornings. Our shower is a tight fit fir him.

There will be a Harley Davidson Rally Thursday and Friday in Marquette about an hour west and we have large rigs here pulling the bikes in trailers from as far as Mississippi. We have also seen many groups on the roads in the past few days. We will go through Marquette Friday, which should be interesting.
Today we went on a cruise to the pictured rocks. It was a gorgeous day, perfect temp in the high 70's. Water was smooth. The pictures do not tell the whole story as the rocks were in shadow and I cannot capture the true colors. We saw a pair of bald eagles but could not get a good picture.  Minerals seeping through the limestone make the colors.Quite enjoyable.
Folks seem really friendly up here. Gene went for a walk last night and some men from near Oshkosh

noticed his Flagship shirt and invited him to sit by the fire and chat awhile, which he did.
I went to the showers at 7:30 this morning and still had to wait.I was second in line.
Cannot figure out what folks were doing as they spent a looooonngg time in there after the water went off. When I left there was no line.
