Houghton City Park

Got off the slow start this morning- Tom woke up feeling pretty crummy. And worse yet?? No COFFEE! OMG.
Totally forgot to stop and get some. Tore apart RV; no tea bags, no grounds, not even hot cocoa mix...how could I not have anything?
Fortunately (for Tom) I did not drink all my coffee yesterday so I could microwave some for him. Yuck!

Repacked RV and hit the road.
Nice drive through the UP, color just starting, with small clumps of orange and even red peeking out.

Got to our RV Park in Houghton, right on the Portage Lake canal. Houghton is such a cute older, town on the Keweenaw peninsula. It sits on one side of Portage Lake with Hancock on the other side. It skinnies down to a wide canal with only a single lift bridge to get to the other side.

Since Tom was still not feeling well, I met Spencer and we toured the campus and his dorm. Just enjoyed walking (in spite of the 90° weather) and having him talk about his classes and all the resources they offer the students. Quick trip to Walmart for yet another fan for his room, they have no AC!
Then we drove out to the RV to spend time chatting with Tom. We were going to go out, but decided to order take out pizza from the Ambassador and ate in the RV. Quick drive back to his dorm to drop him off.
Note: I have NO pictures of the town, campus or Spencer!!? Huge fail. Am including one of the bridge I downloaded, and a couple from Shannon when she dropped him off at school. Just was not thinking...🤔Read more
