On The Road to Petoskey, MI

I know, it's been a very long time since I've posted anything to our blog.  Since we're on our way to our summer job at Hearthside Grove Motorcoach Resort in Petoskey, MI; I thought this would be a good time to start fresh. 

We left the Northwest Minneapolis KOA in Maple Grove, MN yesterday morning with beautiful weather, no wind and no clouds.  We arrived at Kresher campground; which is run by the City of Ashland, WI.  Roger and I were able to enjoy a campfire for many hours using the wood found on the beach and brats cooked on the grill for dinner.  With full tummies, we decided to go explore the pier, ore docks and surrounding area.

We left the beautiful site on the Lake Superior shore in Ashland, WI this morning.  The wind was very strong during the night.  So strong in fact, that it woke both of us up because the motor home was rocking and rolling.  The nice calm Lake Superior that we'd spent the previous evening enjoying was now the treacherous Lake Gitche Gumee.  The wind continued to howl all during our ride and just as we were going through Marquette, MI the awning over our big slide out let loose as it was caught in the wind.  Roger was able to get on the roof, he had to crawl for fear of being blown off, but was then able to use some duct tape to keep the roller from letting loose and the awning tearing.  We found a very nice campground which is run by the City of Munising.  We have a beautiful view of Lake Superior even though it's extremely rough.

Hopefully the wind will let up tonight.  It should, the temperature has dropped 25 degrees just since we arrived at the campground.
