Day 15, Mon, Sept 16: Twelve mile beach campground, UP michigan.
David set alarm for 3am and went to check for northern lights...nope...moon was too brite. With fan pulling in air last night and it cooling down enough, we did not need to precool it with AC before Bed. Generator hours are 8am to 8pm here in our section. Section further down is no generator allowed. They resurfaced the road into twelve mile beach...much betterand perahps a bit wider. Some of the sites are a bit sandy in parking area but it didn't keep our clumsy class A from getting in our out.
There is no cell phone reception here (verizon) as we are kind of down in a hole. If we head east to Grand Marais, we can get cellphone/mifi about 15 minutes away from here (not yet in Grand Marais)by Grand Sable Lake overlook...not fast but that is the first area....otherwise all the way to Grand Marais. We did just that today so I could get prescriptions ordered and chat with family.
David took a 5 walk in afternoon and I chilled with Mali...she is not allowed on the trail...boo his. By 3pm the temp in rv was up to 85 degrees despite sucker fan and all windows open. Gen/AC flipped on to cool it down a bit an reload our batteries. Our rv has some shade from trees but still heat from sun works its way in. We were asked if we wanted firewood from someone leaving; we took jeep to get a bunch of wood. Hopefully sable flies will be gone tomorrow...still out today....annoying bites (flies with BIG teethc) but no itch surprisingly.
One thing we noticed is that no one stays here for long stretches. Last year we were here two weeks and this year one week but campers are not here for a even a week.
Completed our day with a dip in the cold Lake Superior. I wasn't quite as bone hot this time so getting in was a bit slower but it served well as a shower. It was brief...COLD
