Just a splash and dash. Fuel prices are getting higher as we head north.

Tee Shirt and Fudge Shops. No saltwater tatty.

Quite little town on the northern shore of Lake Michigan. 30 miles from next camping stop.

Second stop on the adventure. We're backed up to the lake shore which is about 50 yards away. Very nice park.

One of those towns that seems to be a few years behind the rest of the world but still nice. Winters ate a bit too much for us. They do have a Walmart.
