We're On Our Way: First Stop, Mackinaw City, Michigan

Hi ya'll. Jeryl and I are on the road. We left Friday afternoon and headed to Hocking Hills, Ohio, to visit Jeryl's family. They are all camping in the area for the weekend. We left about 11 and drove until 2 AM, stopping for the night in Finlay, Ohio.

For most of the day, we traveled through Michigan. Although I had read that gas prices were the highest in the nation there, that story proved untrue. We found several places in the $2.65 range to our surprise. PB stations seemed to have the best prices.

Now it's 7:30PM and we are stopped for the night in Mackinaw City, Michigan, near the shores of Lake Michigan. We wandered into town and had supper at a place on the lake but the AC wasn't working and the food wasn't the best so we were disappointed.

We'll be heading to Jackson, Minnesota tomorrow, about a 12 hour drive. Nothing there in particular we want to see, it's just a stopping place along the way to South Dakota and Mt. Rushmore. Til then.....happy trails..........R & J
