Days 64 & 65 - Tuesday & Wednesday, August 27 & 28 - Drummond Island

Tuesday was warm and humid, 85 degrees. It was also quite breezy. We didn't do much. For lunch we went to the Mainsail in DeTour Village. The food was okay and the prices weren't bad but getting charged 50 cents for a glass of tap water, when our bill was $32, guaranteed that I won't return.

It cooled off enough in the evening for us to sit outside and have a campfire.

Wednesday - It was 56 degrees when we got up this morning. It rained during the night. This morning we took the ferry over from DeTour Village over to Drummond Island.

It is bigger than we expected. According to Wikipedia it is 249 square miles, half of which is water. For comparison Cole County Missouri has a land area of 394 square miles. Drummond Island has a population of 973, Cole County has a population of 77,279.

The ferry ride is only about 10 minutes. 

It was hazy, and the water was a little rough.

We stopped at Ester's Authentic Mexican Food for lunch. It was good.

We had plenty of leftovers for supper. We both thought the food was even a little bit better after warming it up in the microwave for supper.

While driving around we saw a sign for RV camping at a park so we drove down the dirt road to check it out. This was on the office. There were several other locations in the small campground with similar warnings about bears.

As we drove around the campground we found a place to pull off and look at the water. There are lots of small islands, some have small houses on them.

Time to get back on the ferry for the trip back. The cost of the round trip ferry ride is $20. For Seniors it is discounted down to $10. What a deal. It's only $35 for a motorhome.

Parked on the ferry.

We even got to see a couple of freighters on the trip back.

Coming back to DeTour Village.

We have noticed many apple trees in DeTour Village. No one seems to be interested in the apples, but the geese sure like them.

Today's high was a cloudy 66. Another campfire felt good.

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