Hello from Petoskey State Park on the eastern side of Lake Michigan. We enjoyed our week spent with my brother and sister- in-law. Lea is from this area in Michigan and has been a wonderful tour guide. We got to know some areas in Michigan better because of her history with the countryside.
Our week began with a drive from Sudbury, Canada, to Sault Ste. Marie, where we crossed back into the United States. The drive continued across the Mackinac Bridge to Mackinaw City where we met Warren and Lea.

Lots of people trying to get into the U.S.

Lake Huron is on the left and Lake Michigan is on the right of this picture.
AT Mackinaw City we stayed at a campground that was on the shore of Lake Huron. It was here that we met Warren and Lea. We were able to get in a bike ride and take a tour of Mackinac Island.
The ferry took us across to Mackinac Island on Lake Huron.
My brother Warren with Lea with Lea's brother, John, who joined us for the day.

The Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island
We took our bikes on the ferry and rode around the entire island.
We visited the fort that was established during the Revolutionary War. This fort occupies the highest point on the island.
Lunch overlooking the harbor.
What great weather we had!

On Saturday we drove 35 miles south to our next stop: Petoskey State Park. This beautiful park has sandy beaches and sits right on Lake Michigan. We had fun exploring the towns nearby, cycling and hiking.
State parks offer lots of challenges leveling our RV.

Just a quick walk to the sandy beaches (below).

We said goodbye to Warren and Lea on Wednesday. They had to head back to Park City. We will leave Petoskey for Traverse City on Saturday. Thank you for checking in with us.
