Day 9, Sunday, Sept 11: Lake Michigan National Forest to Twelve Mile beach campground in Picture Rocks national Lakeshore (where we will be for a full two weeks…scored a waterfront campsite, oh yeah!)
Early departure even though we can get into Twelve Mile beach after 11am.
First stop is dump at Brevort Lake.
Next stop was Friborn Karst Preserve…old quarry which operated 1905 to 1939…mining limestone. There were also some caves which we did not go in. Interesting.
Lastly we stopped at Kitchitikipi (Big Springs)…a state park $10 to see lovely blue spring that you took a hand wheeled raft out to see crystal clear water and lots of fish. Not exactly on the way to Picture Rocks National Lakeshore but technically we had a short drive…made a lot longer with our stops. But we have two full weeks at Twelve Mile Beach campground.
We arrived at Twelve Mile beach campground…hungry…so getting dinner made and coach set up for “glamping” were the most important. Some grilling and eating and then walking.
This is a big experiment for us…hoping to easily go a week without water fill up, tank dump, electric and all that involves because it is a long ride out (hour) to get to Munising to dump/water fill, grocery shop, etc.
