Yesterday (Friday) morning, we packed up, filled the water tank, did some grocery shopping, and headed north.  Actually we headed south, then west, then northeast, making a huge circle around Green Bay.  Crossing into Michigan, we took Route 2 along the north shore of Lake Michigan and soon saw big black clouds ahead. Dan drove through a downpour for at least an hour---awful driving conditions---and then the rain settled into a normal steady rate.  It continued for most of our trip to our next destination:  Tahquamenon Falls State Park, near Newberry, Michigan.

This is the part of the Upper Peninsula that experienced a recent wildfire (Duck Lake fire) and there were signs thanking the firefighters in many of the store windows in town.  The state park was closed for a few days at the start of the fire but obviously it is open now (since we are here!).

Having forgotten that we went from Central time to Eastern time, we lost an hour yesterday and arrived at the park after the office closed.  However, we had our site number and found our place.  A light rain continued all evening, and we were grateful for our awning which allowed us to sit outside for a while and unwind from a stressful drive.  This morning all is muddy and wet, but the sun is peaking through and we can hope for some drying as the day goes on.

This is a very remote part of the state, so again, little "oomph" to the internet and no photos to post.  The town of Newberry, the nearest place to shop, is 30 miles down the road!
