Drove out of the Blue Chip in Michigan City about 8:45AM. We drove a few miles and found ourselves in New Buffalo, Michigan. We had breakfast in a little café called Michigan Thyme (cute play on words).
Continuing up Rte 12 the scenery got better and we turned onto the Red Arrow Highway. Stopping at an overlook where we could “sort of” see Lake Michigan for the first time we could only see a little of the lake. It was very foggy on the water and we’ve noticed there are a lot of heavy tree branches down in yards and along the road. We learned that there had been some serious storms all around us last night, but we fortunately missed it.
We got off the Red Arrow Highway and onto Interstate 194 in order to miss the little bumpy roads. WHAT A MISTAKE! The good old 2009 Recovery Act has everything torn up! The interstate is an old concrete road and it was full of holes. It was so bad the refrigerator door flew open and we had stuff all over the floor. As Ken is trying to get through Grand Rapids at 55MPH I am trying to clean up the mess. Once we got into camp we found we even had a broken glass in the cabinet. Argh…
We got off the interstate and onto Rte 37N which takes us into Manistee State Forest. This is a beautiful area. We will stop in Baldwin, Michigan tonight. There is an RV resort there and we need some down time as well as time to do laundry and house cleaning. Pulling in we felt like we were in a little village. We pulled through the gates and caused stir”. Ron and Jim are the managers and they love our “rig”. They came over to tell us that everyone wanted to know what kind of coach it was. We have done 2 tours already.
Settled in for the night. It is still hot and humid. A lot of the RV’s here are either seasonal or weekenders, but it is very nice.
