Last night at Little River

  

Spent Saturday night at the Little River Casino. Won lost won lost etc. beautiful night with fun and good pizza. Arrived home in the afternoon. Tired and ready for a nap. 

Great vacation getting to know new places in our beautiful state and getting to know our new dog. He's a really great dog. Love him a lot already. Still miss my Sulty an awful lot, but KT is helping me heal. 

Enjoyed the state parks

King Tucker enjoying the wind in the trees. 

Harrisville State Park,  north of Tawas was a really beautiful area. Right on the water with lots of old growth trees. It's one of our first state parks. 

Back to St Ignace

Stayed in the Straits SP same site - 18A -  with the outstanding view of the bridge. It's such a beautiful spot. 

Staying in another SP tonight at Harrisville. We're one site away from Lake Huron - love the sound of the waves. The forest is dense and lush. Lots of shapely cedars. Don't even need a sweatshirt tonight. Perfect spot. 

Soo Locks

Terrific campground right on the St Mary's River watching the various vessels going by. My Marine Traffic iPhone ap is really an added benefit with all the details of each ship/boat. 

Watched boats going through the locks. Way interesting. One was a thousand footer - huge and fascinating. It really filled the lock. 

Another night at the Soo

Drove into Canada to Pancake Bay Provincial Park for a couple of nights. Well, at $50 per night I don't think so.  Returned to the Soo Campground and had a perfect night - until - I left the Mohos door open and King mauled our marinating rib eye steak. Oh dear! 

Soo Locks

Good morning world

I just can't get enough of the bridge view.  Sitting at my table, looking out the window - this is my breakfast view. 

2013 Northern Trip

First night was spent at Little River Casino.  Fun and peaceful sleeping   

Second night was at Mill Creek near Mackinaw City. Beautiful secluded site on the water with the Grand Hotel on the island in our view.  

Third and fourth nights (Sun and Mon) at the Straits State Park. Another secluded site on the water with the bridge viewed from our bed. Peaceful and relaxing. I always enjoy the history of this area. Just envision vouyagers and sailing ships and Frenchmen, British, and American explorers, settlers, and soldiers.  What a place!!!
