Thurs, Sept 11: Lake Michigan at St. Ignace to Twelve Mile Beach @ Picture Rocks National Lakeshore.
We left around 8am but not in a hurry since in theory it only takes 2 hours to get there...hahaha. We stopped at an IGA grocery in Newberry to top our groceries. Of course, it took longer than two hours. We arrived around 1:30pm and did our quick set up but put out the camping rug due to sand. Our stay is for a week and it is our third time here. I got a nap and david took Mali and himself on a walk. NOTE TO SELF: make sure he turns on gas before taking off. He is most likely chatting with someone/anyone and I need to start cooking. There is no cell service here so we will go to Grand Marais in a couple of days to check emails and make phone calls. New hostie this year. Did some walking in evening and went to get firewood. The firewood turning right out to pavement was about 12 miles away! $10 and short cuts...not doing that again. Grand Marais has choices and probably won't be that expensive.
When David went out to take a picture of the sunset last night, he saw people on the beach...its down, down, down from the campsites. He was out there long enough on the top of the dune taking a bunch of photos and waiting a bit inbetween. He saw our next door neighbor (not young) with a beer in his hand get up from the blanket, stumble around/almost falling and then go back on the blanket. I should have brought lawn chairs out to watch his antics coming up, up, up the dune to his site. It's one step up and half slide down...we missed it. There are stairs but they would have been aways away for him to use...other end of the campground and the set nearest him is washed out.
