We have to leave this wonderful lake-side campground for points North and West. When Karma finally figures out we aren’t going to the beach every morning she’s going to be very disappointed. She has even improved her swimming and added body surfing to her repertoire. When Ruthi gets the ball out far enough for Karma to swim out beyond the breaking waves, Karma rides them back to shore. Well, not exactly but close enough for a dog.
We were testing our “dry camping” capabilities here because they don’t have sewer hook ups. Our city campground in Madison, Wisconsin won’t have sewer either. It might not even have water or electricity – we can’t remember. The challenge for us is the showers; we like to use a lot of water. For electricity we have the solar panels. If the power doesn’t last far enough into the evening hours (not happened yet), we can always just go to bed. Luckily, most camps have bathrooms and shower facilities if they don’t have complete hookups (water, electricity, and sewer).
We crossed a bridge between Lakes Michigan and Huron onto the Upper Peninsula. We saw our 3rd Recovery “at work” sign along some highway repair work. Like Alaska, summer on the roads has been full of delays and detours due to improving the roads. In the midst of one construction area, a deer crossed the roadway, road crews and on coming traffic in various leaps and bounds to the safety of the forest on the side of the road.
