Day 10, Mon, Sept 12: Twelve Mile Beach Campground @ Picture Rocks National Lakeshore
Raining when I woke up. We are the biggest rig here at 30 feet (surprisingly)…a couple of class C’s and small trailers and tents (camping in a tent is not fun in the rain!). Never realized just how much I use my phone/computer in morning when david is still sleeping for entertainment.
Made brownie mug cakes for us.
We decided this morning to see if we can avoid having to go out WITH RV after 7 days (of our two week stay) to refill water (use 1 gallon jugs to suck water into tank/not very efficient but will work), dump (we know black tank can make it 2 weeks/a few antistink tablets and gray tank is mostly showers so limit). We can take jeep to grocery shop in Munising or Grand Marais (not sure what they have yet in grocery stores), grab a shower in Grand Marais. Grand Marais is 14 miles away according to sign.
This morning we went to town of Grand Marais. Bought a water jug/ 5 gallon hoping to fill from tap at campground. Asked about showers in Grand Marais…$1 what a deal and if we want to dump $10. They had two small grocery stores or really little bit of everything stores. We also bought 4 bundles of firewood $20 (which is cheaper than most around here…saw as much as $8 per bundle). A stop at Sable Falls to take a walk. We discovered that we could get 4 bars of Verizon at Grand Sable Lake Overlook but still 9ish miles away versus zero anywhere near Twelve Mile Beach Campground.
More walking after dinner.
