Here it is Friday, August 21 and we have just spent the past seven hours driving up to Mackinac from Holland in the rain. This is the very uppermost part of the Lower Peninsula that you can get in Michigan and I’m wondering just where the Eff did summer go? It’s a “balmy” 54 degrees outside and the gale force winds are blowing reminiscent of Katrina. This is what summer vacation is supposed to be like? Oh, now I’m remembering why the Hell I left Wisconsin in the first place. At least the campground is nice and we have a nice water front view where we can see the Mackinac Bridge and the Grand Hotel on the island across the way.
While in Holland, the most interesting side trip I took was to a family run business that makes wooden shoes. Interesting process. I didn’t try any on but they say wooden shoes are pretty comfortable. They make all the shoes from Poplar as it is less prone to the wood splitting.
