Days 47 & 48 - Saturday & Sunday, August 10 & 11 - Country Village to Marquette Tourist Park

 Saturday was a nasty day. It rained on and off, was windy, and the high temperature was in the 60's. We never left the campground, in fact we mostly stayed in the coach. There were brief periods when the clouds would clear and the sun would shine. During one of them Kathy took a walk.


Below is an interesting tent set up. I would like to have seen them set it up and put it away. We saw them as they left the campground this morning. Everything folds up to look like a box on a luggage rack. Sorry about the quality of the photo. I took it through the windshield of our coach because I was to lazy to walk a block down the street to look at it more closely.

Sunday/today we pulled out of Country Village right at noon, and travelled 16 miles to Marquette Tourist Park. The body of water on the right is Lake Superior.


Parked at Marquette Tourist Park. This is a great campground. We have stayed here before. The problem is that it is almost impossible to get a reservation. When I called several weeks ago I asked, "What is the earliest you have a site open fo 3-5 days." This site had a 3 day window and I took it. When we leave here we will go back to Country Village and stay there until we can get in to the Houghton RV Park. 
It was cool and windy in the morning, the overnight low was 52. By the time we got set up the wind had calmed down, plus there are trees all around us to break up the wind. We walked around to see the campground sights. I think this is a camper to pull behind a motorcycle. I walked by it a couple of times but no one was around. Maybe I will see what they pull it with tomorrow. It has a conventional ball hitch. The motorcycle trailers I've seen all had a swivel pin connection, to allow the motorcycle to lean into curves. Perhaps they pull it with a Trike.

This body of water is called the Dead River. I think it flows into Lake Superior but there must be a dam between the campground and the Lake. I'm not sure if today's high hit 70, probably why there was no one at the beach.

 
It was nice enough to sit outside and enjoy the day while watching the other campers roll in.

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