Monroe, Michigan

 

 

Today we slept in later than we wanted to however it did feel good.  Without unhooking the trailer it takes us about 30 minutes from feet on the floor to driving away.  We decided to get something on the road however we had enough granola bars and beef jerky to satisfy the soul.

The traveling from Indianapolis to Monroe was different in the fact that there was road construction about every 10 to 20 miles, the roads were in terrible shape (very very bumpy) and the wind was pushing us all over the road.  Wasn’t much fun driving through all that.

Once again the scenery is green with vegetation, trees, crops – lots of lakes and rivers – the place we were at last night a fella was fishing in the pond on the property and said he caught a pretty good size bass – I need to get a fishing pole.  PRC

Here we are at Sterling State Park on the shores of Lake Erie. I never imagined I’d be here so of course so we had to dip our feet in to the cold lake water.  We met the “beach master” who came over to us to let us know the dead fish behind us was his so don’t get any funny ideas.

This is the first time we have stayed in a state park and it has all the amenities we need.  Plus we have amazing views. The bird songs are almost noisy (in a good way).

A good friend of ours, Steve S., is from Detroit, Michigan. He asked me to bring a list of supplies back to Phoenix for him. Has anyone heard of Bommarito cookies, Bucemis  Pizza, and Bettermade  Potatoe Chip?  I’ll try to hook him up.

We finally arrive  in CANADA tomorrow.  We’ll be able to relax, get caught up with laundry, clean-up the trailer and truck and spend some time in one place.  JY
