Day 25 - Friday, July 3 - Cooler

 LOTS of activity at the campground today. A significant percentage of folks moved out while others moved in. Overall the campground remained close to 100% occupancy.

Today's high was 79 but it was cloudy and didn't seem nearly as hot as yesterday. We turned off the AC early in the morning and haven't needed to turn it back on. Tonight's low is forecast to be 62, we are looking forward to that. Tomorrows high low is forecast to be 75/59, getting closer to the normal of 70/52. We are looking forward to it.

This morning we walked down to the boat ramp area, the swimming beach is a little further than we wanted to walk.

I checked out the bathhouse. The finishes are nicer than the one at Soo Locks but it isn't as clean. This one gets a lot more use. Lots of sand gets tracked in. It is closed for cleaning at 11AM and again at 7PM.



For lunch we went to the 4 Suns Fish & Chips place. Its a little out of town. We ate there two years ago. 
The whitefish is fresh, brought in from the boats daily. Sadly it wasn't as good as it was the last time we were here. The fish was a little overcooked. 

We got there at 11:45. Shortly after we ordered the crowd started rolling in. We are to cheap to try them again. $22 for each of our fish and chips. I like the fish at Long John Silvers just as well and its a lot cheaper, but it was worth checking out.


The restaurant is across the road from the Quincy Mine, an abandoned copper mine where they still have tours. We went across the street to check it out because I want to do the tour, probably Monday. Mining operations ceased in 1945. Based on how I enjoy the tour I may also tour several of the other abandoned copper mine sites on the peninsula.

After lunch it was back home for an enjoyable afternoon. Watching all the kids go by, walking, biking and on scooters has been fun. They haven't been loud or caused any problems. Listening to a Mom down the street holler at her kids, again and again, not so much fun. We are used to camping with old folks who don't have kids to scream at 😀

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