4:30 a.m. - We are in St. Ignace, Michigan, and our arrival yesterday was a solid, safe day of travel. Most of the drive was two-lane highway around the north end of Lake Michigan. Our KOA is an older campground, but it works fine. Every time we go to a different campground, set up is always interesting because every set up is different. In this case, I've got my utility connections stretch pretty thin going different directions. The important thing, though, is that we are all hooked up.
Yesterday after arriving, Amber and I ventured out in the truck over the Mackinac Bridge to Mackinaw City. We found a casino, of course, (and lost again) but we also made our way down to the shopping district and had some ice cream. I had a flavor called Tennessee whiskey, and it really did taste like there was Jack Daniels whiskey in it...it was good! Driving the bridge was interesting...a little nerve-wracking but very picturesque. After time in Mackinaw City, we drove back across the bridge and visited the casino near St. Ignace. It was a bigger casino, and we didn't lose there. (We weren't big winners, though.)
Today's plan is to get on the ferry and head over to Mackinac Island. We are going early, and we are only taking one bike ticket because we found out that the Island doesn't allow e-bikes like Amber has. That's a bummer. I think she was really looking forward to getting a bike. So we are going to take my bike because we had already purchased tickets, and hopefully we can rent a bike for Amber that she will be okay with. If not, we'll park my bike and walk around. With this being our first visit to the island, we have no idea what all we will do or how long we will be. So today will be a day of ignorant tourist exploration!
