Week 2 at Petoskey, MI


We're gettin' use to this Michigan being a resort destination thing.  We've managed to walk & bicycle a lot of the Little Traverse Wheelway: Charleviox-Harbor Springs-Alanson to be exact. Walked some of the Bear River area a time or two, also.  Got in a visit to the Michigan Fisheries Visitor Center as well (pictures to the right & below).  Ate at a couple of restaurants Donna wanted to try plus take the free chocolate tour at Kilwins Chocolate Factory, too.

Yes, we got free samples:  ice cream, fudge and a chocolate tuttle (Kilwins version of a chocolate turtle.)

Lots of traffic & rough roads at times, though.  Managed to throw Donna's bike off the bicycle rack.  Scuffed the handle bars & destroyed the mirror.  The mirror actually saved the bike as that's what it slid on until we could get off the road.


New mirror & Donna says it's fine. I think mine's been so shaken that it needs a tune up, already (just had it done in May!)

Got in the new Star Trek movie, today.  So we're still getting out & doing things.
 
It ends soon, though.  Sunday - if all goes well - we move down to the Silver Lake region for a couple weeks.  May try to stay a little longer.

It's a new campground - Dunes Harbor Family Camp.  When I kept looking for places to stay, it kept coming up as an advertisement for a campground in the Silver Lake region.  It's a Lutheran run organization and so new that it's not listed on any app or campground directory that I have.  Google Earth and Google Maps have it & show it under construction.  So we're going to give it a try.

That's if for this week.  Thanks for stopping by & checking on us. Everyone enjoy your "warm" weekend!  David
