Michigan and Wisconsin

     There are sand dunes along the shores of Lake Michigan and wide sand beaches. The Lake today is silver grey and smooth as glass - reflecting a bunch of little white clouds. I would like to go back here. Eventually the road took us into the farmlands of Wisconsin. There wasn’t a direct way to go west so we needed to work our way on little county roads which took us through some deep woods and right along the edge of farms.
     We drove the same mileage as yesterday, but went through so many little towns that it took us a hour longer to get to our campground. Once again there is almost no one here except for the “seasonal” campers. We have found many campgrounds looking more like trailer parks with 80% or more of the sites occupied by relatively permanent setups. Some of the campgrounds do a good job of keeping high standards so that the environment is still very nice. This one seems to have a lot of trailers way back in the woods. But we found a short term site near the office and had some great sunshine for our afternoon relaxing.
     I cleaned the stove and microwave in preparation for storing it for the winter. We will do the winterizing when we get home. I hate to see our house on wheels covered up with its tarp and put away until spring. We have so much fun on our travels.
