On the shores of Gitche Gumee

...or not... or maybe....?
So this was supposed to be a total washout. All weather prognosis showed rain starting early morning and continuing through the day at about 80% at some point with possible strong thunderstorms.

There is really NOTHING TO DO in this area in case of bad weather. There are some local small museums in neighboring communities, but nothing that would interest us.

So we just decided to be lazy and stay in...slept a bit late.. and at around 8:00AM it was raining quite steadily, although not heavy. We had breakfast and just packed all the hiking clothes and gear as well as most of clothing - we are thinking of early morning departure tomorrow so getting stuff together as much as possible.

Within an hour or do it started getting lighter but Weather Channel was still insisting on bad weather even as % numbers dropped.
By 1pm it looked sunny... but by 2 it got a tad darker again and by 2:30 we started getting (gulp 🫨) TORNADO WARNINGS ⚠️
Yet outside still looked bright....

So we dodge the bullet. The storms blew North of us right across the Bay, but apparently there WAS a tornado in the next county East of us... phew 😓

By 4:00PM it is completely over with the sun shining and the pool crowd is back.
We shall eat our dinner early and hope for a descend sleep before hitting the road tomorrow morningLeia mais
