Day 15, Saturday, Sept 17: Picture Rocks National Lakeshore/Twelve mile beach campground
We are finding turnover at this campground is abundant. Most people only stay a couple of days (? No showers or drive 20 minutes for one?, no electric?, no dump?) The host has no full hook up or even electric!, no golf cart but not many duties either and only 20 hours of “work”.
We continue to be the only Class A here and no fifth wheels either!
Weather still not conducive for northern lights….
Drove to check out the Hurricane campground (not for us…we are too big) but saw that the day use part of it would be great for Mali swimming. We later went back and threw sticks for her. The grassy area just above the beach was perfect for her post swim rollings. The water got too deep for her fast so we could not throw sticks far but she had a great time and got some of her jiggles out. Brought her back to campground to dry out well.
We learned about Stable flies…when the breeze is from inland as opposed to the water, they arrive and bite…bug repellents do not work well or at all. This was learned when we went down, down, down to the beach after dinner to run Mali…even she was bothered by them. Our trip to the water was brief…darn flies. I MAY think about going in tomorrow….but it is much colder than I would normally tolerate. Air Temps are in mid 70’s during day and low 60’s when it cools down at 3am. Venturing guess at water temp…60?
The people next to us and us are the only ones staying longer than a few days…two weeks both of us. Each day brings a crop of one day campers…they disappear for the day and reappear at night only to leave the next morning.
