A Little Rain Never Hurt Anyone

We had a nice relaxing morning visiting with Uncle Bob and Aunt Pam enjoying their beautiful home.
Around 2:00 we headed toward Munising along the scenic route of M31. The weather was calling for scattered rain showers but we were hopeful on dodging the rain drops. Gorgeous scenes along the route.

Beautiful inland lakes on the east side and views of Lake Michigan on the west as we traveled through Traverse City, Charlevoix and Petosky.

We stopped for a break at Friske’s Market for some homemade, warm cherry donuts and michigan peaches, and said hello to the farm mascots while we were there.

After setting up camp, had a late night dinner at Camel Riders on 440. Amazing dinner at a charming restaurant in the woods that caters to locals and outdoor sports enthusiasts.

After we finished an amazing dinner, the owner told us to order the sirloin for two next time. A prime cut of aged sirloin steak that is so popular and you can cut it with a fork… Sign us up!! A long full day ended with a great dinner and restful sleep in the cabin. Until tomorrow… J & M
