Yesterday's high/low temperatures were 78/54. It was mostly sunny, but a little hazy. We are sure getting spoiled by all the great weather we have had this trip.
We didn't do a lot yesterday. I got hooked on an apocalyptic fiction book and was up until 2AM Sunday reading. I did get it finished during the day.
Kathy saw an ad for the restaurant at the St Ignace Kewadin Casino. The ad touted their Sunday buffet and a dining room that overlooked Lake Huron. When we got there we found out that they no longer have a Sunday buffet, but their Sunday specials looked good. Kathy had their chicken florentine and I had a steak french dip sandwich, both were good. At $21 it was the cheapest meat we have had during the trip. We did have a table with a nice view of the Lake. There were two people dining when we arrived and a couple came while we were eating. A maximum of 6 people in a place that probably seated 200.
There are 5 Kewadin Casino's in the eastern half of MI's UP. Two near Lake Superior and two near Lake Michigan and one near Lake Huron. Most, if not all, have RV "campgrounds" in, or very near, their parking lots. It's basically overnighting in a parking lot with water and electricity connections, and an available dump station. You could not reserve a site. There were maybe 30 sites and over 10 of them were empty. At $15/night it is a good deal it you only want to park somewhere for a couple of nights so that you can check out the local tourist sites. If an RV'er had seeing Mackinac Island on their bucket list it would be a great place to stay two nights. I think the shuttle bus for the ferry would come to the casino and pick you up.
After lunch Kathy dropped me off at the coach. I took a nap while she checked out the local grocery store.
During a walk around the campground we saw that the Texas couple, Mike and Kathy, who were our neighbors at the Soo Locks campground in Sault Ste Marie had arrived. We forgot to exchange contact information while at Soo Locks so I left a note on their door with our contact info and inviting the over to sit by the campfire and visit during the evening. They came over and we had a nice evening.
Mike and Kathy live near Dallas/Ft Worth. Hopefully during our winter months travels we will have an opportunity to spend a night or two in that area and spend some more time with them.
God is good. I pray that He blesses you and yours.
