Last week, we decided that today we would move from Tiki RV Park to Lakeshore Park Campground so we would have better cell phone reception. The drive was about 6 miles - south on State Street to west on US 2 - and we didn't need to get on the Mackinac Bridge. With storms on the way, we got most of the departure chores done before the rain moved in, and we were able to depart in sunshine after the first wave of storms moved through. Traffic was stopped on US 2 due to the big bridge being shut down in both directions as a result of 65 mph winds during the storms and an overturned camper, which meant no one going south from the area was leaving anytime soon . What should have taken us 20 minutes ended up taking almost an hour, but we eventually made it to our campsite. The bridge reopened early this afternoon.
We're now set up in site

Lakeshore Park Campground, next to the pavilion and bathhouse. We're in the second row and have a view of Lake Michigan as we look in between the RV's in front of us. This is a basic park out in the country with no playground or pool. There are shaded sites and some without trees.

This week we hope to do some more sightseeing, visit the casino again, and spend some more time with Charlotte and Dave. We may be here for the next two weeks or more as we wait for Hank's computer to be returned.
