As planned we went to Peck, MI yesterday. Rick discovered some "interesting" facts about Peck on the way there .... basically, it is a tiny town (with a lovely name).
After Peck we went to Lexington, which is right on Lake Huron. It was a grey grey day - very foggy and reminiscent of summers in Maine when I was young. We ended up going to a state park right on the harbor. I swore I was going to stop posting so many photos of Sir in the water - I mean really, I've got to think y'all are tired of seeing them - whether he is adorable in the water of Lake Ontario, Lake Erie or Lake Huron .... it probably getting a bit old.
However, there was a gaggle of these guys (below) I thought they are swans, but not sure - swans or geese ~ whatever they are they were NOT at all that Sir was in THEIR water .... Sir continued to swim and have fun, while they were hissing and yelling at him - he seemed totally oblivious to it all.
Maureen, the photo below is for you - you asked if Lake Huron is beautiful - it is gorgeous, but like I said yesterday was grey and foggy so the photo doesn't do it any justice. The water is so blue - similar to the Caribbean .... blue blue blue - unlike Lake Ontario and Lake Erie. So much open land here in Michigan with lots and lots and lots of property (lake side and otherwise) for sale! I am in love with this area, but that white stuff happens here in December - March or so!!!
Chester, the photo below was taken in your honor ....
On our way back to the coach we stopped at the "Stone Lodge" in Port Sanilac ... this photo of Sir was taken out back of the place ....
Last night we had a campfire and THE KIDS came out - they haven't been out for ages - Maureen do you miss the stories of the kids? God I used to get so carried away with them didn't I! I guess the kids took a back seat to Sir Arlo - my bad.
Today we headed 30 miles south to Port Huron. We came through here on our way to the campground we're at but wanted to go back to "explore" as much as time would allow (Sir wasn't with us - he stayed "home" - much to his disappointment) - it was like Rick and I had a date!!!
We stopped at the Elks Lodge there for lunch. WOW what a property (above). This is their golf course. Neither Rick nor I are into golf, nor do we know the first thing about it but it sure was pretty to site there eating looking out at this. There was also, of course, an outside area to sit and enjoy the surroundings. We also found that there was plenty of room at this Lodge for us to park the coach and trailer (aka "the shed"). They have no hook ups but we can be without for a few days!
Then we headed to the Thomas Edison Inn at the recommendation of the Elks bartender. We didn't end up even going in because they had no outside seating. I wanted to be outside overlooking the water! However, this property sits right under the bridge from Port Huron to Canada - separated by the river seen above (the St. Clair River). Hopefully you can enlarge the photo and see the back up of trucks. They are headed to Canada (there was a customs stop on either side of the bridge from what we could see). There didn't seem to be a back up (for whatever reason) coming into the States ... hmmm
We're off to Sumner, MI tomorrow
