Day 44: After Kevin and Alan took off from the Buckatabon Lodge / Lighthouse Inn in Conover, WI, Janut and I walked down to the lake to check out the lighthouse. We asked an employee where the lighthouse was and she pointed "over there", Janut looked but could not see it and said "where?", and the girl pointed again "just over there". OMG, when we saw it, we couldn't stop laughing. We were expecting a big lighthouse, what we got was a Kmart munchkin lighthouse! What a rip off! When I was walking Bob, I had seen a sign that said "Bauer's Dam", so we decided to follow the signs and check it out. What a riot, the dam was shorter than the sprinter van! We drove into Phelps, WI, and saw scarecrows all through town (women's club scarecrow fest - see separate slideshow). We enjoyed lunch on the chilly shores of Kentuck Lake, WI (not Kentucky!). We crossed the Brule River and entered Michigan. We stopped in Iron River, MI, for groceries and Janut found Trenary Toast. It's a cross between biscotti and cinnamon toast, Michigan's Upper Peninsula favorite since 1930! Sweet dry and crunchy, it will be good in the morning with a hot cup of coffee. Our camp site tonight is in the Bewabic State Park, MI (a 4.5 minute walk to the showers/flush toilets and a 1 minute walk to the pit toilet). Tasty dinner...ham steak, microwave baked potatoes, sautéed polenta, and frozen veggies. Janut topped it off with pumpkin pie and whipped cream! by Jo
