Day 39, Friday, July 17 - Some Rain

 We had some on and off light rain today. The grass in the campground looked like some rain was a good thing.

We went to Zorba's for lunch. We have went there for a meal every time we have been in the UP, the first time was the fall of 2011. It's a "Greek" restaurant that has pizza. We get the same thing every time, a big salad that we share and one of their pizzas. (Sure hope their lettuce supplier isn't the same one Taco Bell uses.) The salads have always been good. The last two times the pizzas don't seem as good. We decided that the next time we are up here we will go in for a salad and then go pick up a Lil Caesars pizza when we leave. We could get 4 Lil Caesars pizzas for the same price as the one we had for lunch.

I walked out of the campground and down the street this afternoon, down toward the powerhouse. Kathy and I wished they had tours, we would love to see the inside.

On the way down I recognized this docked construction barge. When we were here in June we often saw a pusher tug move it over to near the locks early in the morning. One time it had a ready mix truck on it. Another time it had what we thought was a fuel truck on it. Some times it was only over there for a hour or so and sometimes it was there all day. 

The back of the barge and the pusher tug.

I was surprised to find this nice sidewalk along the river.

The only time we had seen the "back side" of the powerhouse was when we were on a boat tour. I had no idea fisherman congregated on the backside. 

God is good. I pray the He blesses you  and your. He has blessed me.
