Now in Michigan.

Monday, Aug 22

Moving on up the road.  We are heading up to Essexville, MI, which is close to Bay City and the Saginaw Bay.  We are staying in a county park that is very close to the bay but does not have water access.  One day when we are here we will drive over to the city park and check out the bay.  We do have full hookups at $16 a day.  The park is really nice, just not a lot of amenities.  We also get to mark off another state on our states visited map.

It was a long trip for us today, about 230 miles.  I think that is the longest we have done in one day in awhile.  We have one more problem with the rig.  The awning that is on the slideout came loose.  It is not ripped but the seam came undone and slipped out of the metal cover.  Bill has taped it with good old duct tape.  Hopefully it will be OK until we get back to Calif.  I think I can fix it by sewing up the seam on Dad's industrial sewing machine.  Until then we will just baby it. 

We don't have a lot planned for this week, we are just kinda killing time so there may be days without posts.  Guess this is a good time to do the laundry, find a place to get a haircut, do some cleaning, etc.  Since we are parked for a bit I can have my shots delivered.  So that is all for now, bye.
