We leave early this morning. Monty's body clock has recentered itself and he's back to waking at 6 am pretty consistantly.
The weather has been really beautiful. Warm but not hot with cool nights. We'll drive for a pretty long day today and find a one night stay.
It's later in the day as I write this. We ended up driving a little too long today. We skipped where we planned to go and ended up at Indian Lake State Park in the Up of Michigan in the town of Manistique. Indian Lake State Park is located on Indian Lake, the fourth largest inland lake in the Upper Peninsula with an area of 8,400 acres. It is six miles long and three miles wide. The lake was once called M'O'Nistique Lake. According to 1850 surveyor records, Native Americans lived in log cabins near the outlet of the lake. The park is composed of two units which are three miles apart and separated by the waters of Indian Lake. Amenities include camping, hunting, fishing, hiking, beach and beach house, picnic area, boat access site/launch and metal detecting area.It was expensive: $22.00 a night (plus $8.00 entrance fee to the park) but each site was really nice: grassy and flat, each had electricity (which we don't use much of) and beautiful views of Indian Lake! Bathroom fascilities and showers were really nice. Another camper told us about another state park in Michigan that was even nicer, so it seems that it's just Massachusetts that has crappy state parks!
