We were up and packing the rig this morning.  Even though we weren't in a hurry we didn't sleep in.  It looked like it was going to rain any minute and Bill didn't want to work outside if it did rain. 

Both motorhomes are having small issues.  Ours has a rear jack that doesn't like to come up very quickly.  It does come up, it just takes a bit of time.  We also have a spot that sometimes leaks in the rain.  Terry has a problem with his hydraulics system.  The fluid is leaking somewhere so when it does he get a dinging on his warning system.  His slide will also slip out a bit when he makes right hand turns.  Lydia can hit the "in" button and it retracts but they need to get it worked on.  We are at this campground for 7 nights so as soon as we got in Terry went to talk to some repair guys.  They were able to come out and take a look.  They spent some time and had to replace a couple of hoses.  Hopefully this will fix his problem.  Bill is going to look at ours tomorrow. We did head into the Post Office to pick up our mail.  It was waiting for us with no problems.

Because we had no idea when the repair guys would be done we discussed having pizza for dinner.  We wound up going out to a restaurant instead.  The food was pretty good but a bit pricy.  I expected higher prices up here as it is in a tourist area.  We made some plans for the week while we ate.  We plan on heading over to Mackinac Island on Friday (it should be the best day weather wise).  Tomorrow we plan on hanging around the rigs doing some cleanup and repair work.  Lydia and I also have to do some laundry.  We also plan on heading up to Sau Saint Marie on one day. 

After dinner we stopped and got an ice cream for dessert.  Bill and I got blueberries and cream and it was really, really good. 

There are no pictures today as I forgot to take my camera with me to dinner.  I will take pictures tomorrow or the next day.  Have fun.
