We pulled away from the house at 6:00 am under a morning sky filling with clouds.
At our first stop I pulled too close to the gas pumps and with the help of a Good Samaritan I was able to back up enough to clear the pumps.
We crossed into the US at Port Huron, this took 30 minutes as we waited our turn. Our interview at the boarder was swift and painless.
As we traveled through Michigan we saw new vistas as we rarely travel in August. We passed fields of swathed grain golden brown in colour and at the rest areas grass turned brown with summer heat. Only tended flower beds and weeds remained green and colourful.
All day clouds gathered and we knew that at some point rain would challenge our journey.
When the rain finally came it did so with wind and heavy downpours, so heavy that we had to pull over for about 5 minutes.
We arrived at our campsite at 3:30 and had supper listening to a gentle rain on the roof and The Mummy Case by Elizabeth Peters on recorded books.
The induction plate and instant pot made short work of supper without adding heat to the trailer.
And Grandpa did dishes.
Thank you for coming along today.

Enjoy your travels and new sight to see.
We stopped early and have enjoyed a relaxed evening decommissioning from the drive. How many hours do you drive in an a average day of travelling?
We like to go no longer than 9 am till 2-3 pm. This works for us and usually a Walmart, Casino, flying J etc for one night.
