Yesterday Anne-Marie and I pulled the trailer from Sault Ste Marie, down to the vacation area of St Ignace, Michigan. This is where Lake Michigan and Lake Huron are attached, at the Mackinaw Strait. These two Great Lakes are attached by a five mile wide body of water and is 120ft deep, and are considered to be a single lake, and the largest fresh water lake in the world. There is a lot to do here, but we only allowed three nights for our stay. We need to get the trailer to Grand Rapids, Michigan for a repair on the gasket around the slide-out, it isn’t leaking, but the adhesive holding the seal has let go, and it needs replacing.
Our home in St Ignace is the KOA campground. We are in pretty good shape here, 50amp electric, water/sewer, cable TV at the site, and internet service. We are just minutes away from downtown, and all of the tourist stuff.
Last year Anne-Marie and I saw these type of signs, around the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and we chuckled, and wondered what is a Pasty? I had to search beyond the clothing accessory to find the food item Pasties. Think of a pot pie but wrapped in a pie crust, and baked on a sheet in the oven. There are many variations of fillings, and most all have potatoes, carrots, and some type of meat inside. Smoked fish, Wild Rice, and fudge are also a local product, there is a active whitefish fishery in the lakes, and most all restaurants have whitefish on the menu. The Wild Rice is grown in this part of the Great Lakes area, and is closer to grass seed than rice.
I LOVE it there, too::::::the entire northern tip---lovely!!!
ReplyDeleteSo happy you two are there, or were there!!
Fireflies???
Didn't see any fireflies up there. I have seen them where Sara is living in Illinois. They aren't as numerous this year because of the drought back here.
