We called Dave and Wes on Maddy's cell phone to wish them a happy birthday.
In the parking lot outside the restaurant where we had lunch were some
wooden vehicles for the "kids" to play on.
Don's been driving a tractor on the family farm since he was 10.
This is what Eric has wanted to be doing for a long time.
Maddy is the driver for this group of children.
I'm staying at King's Motel in Naubinway tonight because the campground
at Hog Island Point has no showers and I'm getting tired of being dirty.
I'll ride the 8 miles to camp tomorrow morning in time for breakfast.
There are no cars allowed on Mackinac Island. I rode all the way around the
island and saw nary a motor vehicle.
The fort overlooks the harbor.
When we were there they couldn't get the cannon to fire.
After browsing the shops in town, we took the ferry over to the lower peninsula.
I had dinner at an Italian restaurant half a mile down the road from our
campground with Brendan, Geoff, and Carol. Our waitress was a girl from
England working here for the summer.

We're camped at the Indian Lake Travel Resort. The lake is quite large.
We're right on the shore.

The sunrise over the lake this morning was pretty.

We're at Straights State Park in St. Ignace MI. Showers are 0.3 miles
away from the group camp site and had no hot water when I used them.
Still, that's a lot better better than no shower at all.

This was a pseudo rest day: From St. Ignace we took the ferry to Mackinac
Island, spent the day there sightseeing, then took the other ferry to
Mackinaw City where we are staying at the Tee Pee campground. This is
Brendan's photo of Carol and Jeanne stashing bikes on the ferry.
