We left Minneapolis early Tuesday morning headed to the Mackinaw City, Michigan area to spend some time in the Great Lakes area. There's so much to see and check out and we're really looking forward to our time here. We arrived at a small town near Ecanaba Michigan yesterday as a half-way point and spent the night at a little RV park next to a casino.
With only a couple hundred miles to go today, we got a late start and since we moved into the Eastern time zone today, we really got a later start. But fortunately we still arrived at Mill Creek campground around 4:00 this afternoon and as soon as we got the RV set up we headed into town to try a Mackinaw pastie. They're kind of like meat pies. We'd heard about them and wanted to try them. They were ok...not sure I'd have another one, but I'm glad we tried them.
There's lot's of things we'd like to see while we're in the area. Initially we're only planning on staying at this particular campground until Monday morning. One of the first things I'd like to do is go to Mackinaw Island. You catch a ferry down the road from where we're at and they drive you over to the island. It's actually become some what 'famous'...Mackinaw Island is where the romantic/classic movie "Somewhere in Time" was filmed, a move with Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymoure.
There are lot's of state parks, a lighthouse and lot's of other cool stuff we're looking forward to doing while in the upper peninsula of Michigan. We're excited and looking forward to our time here on the Great Lakes. We had a wonderful day today and hope you did as well. Until later~
