Today we moved about 25 miles from the Soo Locks campground to the campground area at the Bay Mills Casino near Brimley, MI. It is a basic campground that provides full hook up sites for $40/night. (When we were here in September 2021 the rate was $29/night, a 38% increase in 3 years.) It provides RV'ers a place to park while they gamble.
Sault Ste Marie is at the top right and Bay Mills is at the bottom left.
I think there are about 100 sites in the campground.

I walked across the street to get a better photo of the bay. The far shore on the right is Canada.

More hotel rooms?
We didn't leave Soo Locks until almost noon. The drive over here took about a half hour. Check in went well, we were assigned site 110, which is in the 2nd from from the top in the above photo. It is a nice size site. We got all set up and were starting to relax when Kathy said, "I think the air conditioners sound funny, like they are struggling." I dug out my volt/ohm meter and checked the voltage, we had less than 105 volts in the coach. I checked the electrical pedestal and found that the voltage there was also less than 105 volts.
I walked over to the office and told the lady that the voltage was low. A maintenance guy was in the office. He said that low voltage is a continual problem in the entire section section of the campground at the top of the photo above. I asked if there were sections of the campground with better voltage and was told that we could move to the section at the bottom of the photo where the voltage was better. I went over and checked and found that voltage on one leg of the 50 amp receptacle was 106.5 volts while the other leg was 110.4 volts. It was warm enough today that many people were running their AC units. Tonight, at 11PM, in the coach I get 119.7v at one receptacle and 115.4v at another one. The outside temperature has dropped into the high 60's so I doubt that many AC unit are running.
God is good. I pray that He blesses you and yours. He has blessed me.
