Today we crossed the Mackinac Bridge into the Upper Peninsula (UP) of Michigan. We can now say that we have slept in all forty-nine continental states and we’ve seen four of the five Great Lakes. (We saw Lake Huron while crossing the bridge today. The only one we haven’t seen yet is Lake Superior.) Continue reading
We headed north yesterday and there wasn’t anything particularly remarkable about our trip, but we landed at Burt Lake State Park for the night and took lots of pictures of the sunset over the lake. I was up late processing my one hundred ninety six photos so didn’t have a chance to write. The following is just a handful of the photos I took: Continue reading
Shortly before we left Florida I got an email from Our Daily Bread Ministries saying they were going to be putting on a one day Bible Conference in Detroit, MI on April 30th and it was only going to cost $10 per person to cover a box lunch.

This being Sunday, Mark and I listened to hymns most of the day rather than reading a book. The traffic was light and the trip was pleasant. Continue reading
It was so good to sleep in our own bed again last night! Feeling more rested this morning, we tried to stop at Camping World to get air in the tires of the RV, but no one was there who could do it for us so we commenced our journey. Continue reading
