Tuesday, August 9th - Busy Day

 Last nights overnight low was 43. We actually ran one of our heat pumps for a short time this morning, to get the inside temperature up to 65. We love it! Today's high was a sunny 81 degrees, with low humidity.

In the morning I spent more time campground searching, without a lot of success. Since I was never able to find a campground with a vacancy within 75 miles of Duluth we decided to reroute our trip. We decided to head south to the UP Lake Michigan shoreline. I wanted to spend some time at Fayette, a restored community on the Lake Michigan shore. Once again I couldn't find a campground with a vacancy within 50 miles.

Plan B, or C, or maybe even G. I called the Soo Locks Campground, the one we love and where we already stayed a week during this trip; to check to see if by any chance they had a vacancy. We will be moving there for a week when we leave here on Friday. Halleluiah & PTL! 

When we leave there the current plan is to head down to lower MI and follow the Lake Michigan shoreline down the west side of the state. Once we reach the Holland area we will head east and spend some more time camped at Mom's pond.

All that searching made me hungry. Actually, when we were there earlier this week, Kathy had seen that Sherrie's Tuesday special was turkey and dressing . She was hungry for it so we went there for lunch. I had breakfast, eggs and potato sausage, it was interesting. 

Once we were back at the coach Kathy went grocery shopping and I washed the coach. I wore out before I did the wheels and windows. It will probably take me over an hour to do them tomorrow. I also recharged our water softener. The campground water is hard. That's one of the reasons cleaning the windows will be a real chore.

In the evening, 6:30, we went into Ishpeming and participated in a history walk downtown. There are some interesting buildings. This is City Hall.

The old theater sits vacant and is in sad shape.

Originally there was a clock on top of the cylindrical appendage on the building corner.

Ishpeming traffic.

By then it was time to check out the busiest place in Ishpeming, The Ish Creamery. Kathy is heading over. The line of those waiting extends outside.

The Eggbeater is still there, much to the chagrin of many who live in Ishpeming. I didn't take a new picture of it.

This was over a half hour later, when were leaving. The line still extends outside.

God is good. I pray that He blesses you and yours.
