Mon, Sept 15: Twelve Mile Beach at Picture Rocks National Lakeshore
David said it would be okay to run the fan and sound machine (for mali dog) last night and we did. I slept with just a sheet on. We went to Grand Marias to hang out and run generator for the day and came back around 2:30. We got lunch there as take away...the breakwall. I had whitefish sandwich on cauliflower thick wrap...delicious but they paired it with potato chips. David had chicken cheese “steak” and his was good as well. We ran the generator the whole time to really stuff our power up while he trouble shooted with our expert, son Graham. We spent a bit of time at the beach and Mali dog played stick fetch in water....her favorite. I get a knock on the door and david is there with a wet dog which he managed to keep from rolling in the wet sand. She feels compelled to wipe the water off by rolling....after a bath, swimming...in whatever is available...the rug, the grass, the SAND! David held her upright in her harness the walk back to car. Maybe now we can postpone a bath... When we got back it was aparent the sable flies were out! Bug spray does not work on them...just cover up and its 77 degrees. Although most sites are full, no one was “home” avoiding the flies. Not at the beach either...no one! Mali was getting bit and I was pretty sure the tennis racket bug thing was not going to get them before they bit so we are in the rv hiding from them.
We were aiming to make a campfire this afternoon but the sable flies were out and Mali dog kept hopping about getting bit and david was also. No campfire...hole up inside. No one on the beach so must be worse there. Tomorrow we go in water...cold or not! Downloaded tv at night.
