June 23, 2010 From Lake Superior to Lake Michigan

On the road with rain threathening again - a bit of pattern to this trip so far. We crossed from the UP to lower Michigan at St. Ignace and took the Mackinaw Bridge in the rain and wind. Some poor motorhome owner was trying to secure there canopy while pulled over to the side on the Mackinaw Bridge. We took the shore highway southbound at Mackinaw City to Petosky through Traverse City and stopped at Luddington. After a fun bit of navigation with the GPS we arrived at a County Campground and setup camp finally in sunshine. A quick dinner and down to the harbour just in time to see the arrival of the car ferry Badger entering the harbour. It looks like a very nice public beach - powdersy sand.We took a walk out the breakwater to the lighthouse and then back to the campground. There were a few seasonal campers in for the night but only a couple of transients - it was almost like a private campground.
