Day 52 Epoufette, MI-Petoskey, MI

Day 52: Happy Birthday, Carol!!! We woke up to a nice sunrise at the
Epoufette Bay campground on Lake Michigan. The morning was very quiet
as the waves had subsided. Janut, Bob and I drove to the Bridge View
Park (Mackinac Bridge) and hung out there for a few hours to air out and
dry John & Alan's tents (condensation and lake fog), prepped dinner
in the slow cooker, chatted with sprinter van admirers (during the
sprinter van tour the guy kept saying to his wife "this is what
YOU want honey!"), and talked to a nice guy named Ken who sold his home
and belongings in Oregon and took off in June with just $50 in his
pocket (no credit cards) and is riding his Harley Davidson motorcycle to
Maine. His blogspot is "Cruising with Ken". He has basically survived
from generous handouts from sandwich shop employees, gas station
attendants, KOA campgrounds, you name it. A nice guy on an epic
adventure with no time limit...a free spirit. We wish Ken the best.
After crossing the Mackinac Bridge, Janut saw a guy with his pet
chicken. He was carrying the chicken, then carefully placed it in the
ground, kissed it on its head, and proceeded to take pictures of his
chicken on the beach with the Mackinac Bridge in the background! Too
cute! We headed southwest along the west shore of "the mitt" of
Michigan, a beautiful shoreline with sand dunes, beautiful homes, and
cool "tunnel trees" (roads with tall green trees that form a canopy -
feels like a tunnel of trees). Tonight's camp site is in the Petoskey
State Park. Kevin had his own little adventure today...he was taking a
picture while riding his bike, side swiped an orange traffic barrel, and
lost the brake cover on his right shifter (but it still works ... for
now). this afternoon we enjoyed the sunshine and chowed down on beef
pot roast for dinner. Another good day. by Jo
