We spent this weekend traveling. Saturday was pretty uneventful, made it to the KOA east of Toledo without any issue. It always amazes me how quickly the topography changes. From the mountains of Western Penn to “as far as the eye can see” flat in Ohio in what felt like minutes.

After a night outside Toledo we headed out on our way to Michigan.

As soon as you get to Michigan it is clear that pot is legal here. 8 out of 10 billboards are for pot shops. The other 2 are food. Munchies much?

After a stop for fuel and a quick visit to Bass Pro Shops, we headed north toward the thumb. With no warning what so ever the road in front of us is closed with baracades. The detour is just turn around. No other instructions. Thankfully we have several GPS apps and we chose another one to get us where we needed to go. Our new route took us to Port Huron. Literally the last exit in the US. We had our passports and were tempted but ultimately decided that we needed our jobs to continue to live this adventure. So we had to stay state side. The rest of the drive (almost 90 miles of it) ran along Lake Huron. Several cute little towns and some really nice views.

We’re all still getting used to not having Boo around, especially Smore. She found a few new positions to travel in this time. She always seems to settle down about 30 minutes before we get where we’re going.

So we’re in Port Austin for the rest of August. It’s a really cute town and everything is walking or biking distance from the campground. The campground itself is a little odd. No office or store. It took us nearly 24 hours before we met our first campground employee. But we’re hear and settled in. Looking forward to lots of adventures as we explore Michigan’s Thumb region.
