We slept in and had a lazy morning. The overnight low was 52, good sleeping weather. Today's high was a sunny, breezy 63.
After lunch I went to the Michigan Iron Industry Museum near Negaunee, about 10 miles from the campground. I had been there on one of our earlier trips to the UP, but not recently. It was worth a "refresher" visit. When I go to a place like that I am always amazed at the toughness of our ancestors. It is also a great reminder of what a Land of Opportunity the US was, and still is, for those willing to work hard.
Kathy stayed at the coach to have some, "away from Bert time." 😀
Immigrants from over 30 nations found there way to Michigan's UP during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Irish were the first major group. They came to work the copper mines. Then came Italians and Finns. The Finns made up the largest group. They all came because jobs were available and land was cheap.
We spent time around a campfire again tonight. A problem with that is that it stays light for so long here. Today sunset was at 9:12. It was still relatively light out at 10. From June 20th to July 1st sunset is at 9:46. From June 18th-26th sunrise is at 5:56,
We have all heard a lot about the devastating impact that inflation is having on US households. Gas/fuel prices are bad enough but it really hits home when it comes to food. When we were up here last fall I paid $2.00 for a dozen cake donuts, at the grocery next to the campground. This trip they cost me $3.39.
God is good. I pray that He blesses you and yours.
