With the month of June coming to a close, we had one final week of camping planned. We left on Sunday, June 23 and had a very nice travel day. We took our time and really didn't push it. According to Google maps we had a good 8 hour trip ahead of us, but in reality it took 9.5. It was well worth the drive to Muskallonge Lake State Park in Newberry, MI.

| Crossing the Mighty Mac with my eyes open! |
My first goal was to cross the Mighty Mac with my eyes open. I have a terrible fear of bridges and this one especially. I've crossed it at least a half dozen times in my life and just cannot bare to look. This time I was determined and it had to the first time we were towing a camper behind us (LOL!) Mission accomplished!!!!!! I did it. The view was amazing, even though it was a little hazy. I really didn't appreciate the construction and slow down at the very top of the bridge but I was able to deal.
The minute we got across the bridge, we lost all cell phone service. It was like we stepped into another world. For four complete days, my cell phone was turned off and put away. It was so nice to just disconnect from everything and be in the moment enjoying whatever we were doing.
Here's a quick rundown of the highlights...
- Pictured Rock National Lakeshore Boat Tour
- Tahquamenon Fall State Park
- Crisp Point Lighthouse

| Campsite #23 - by far the best spot in the whole place |
We had just the best weather ever even though I heard it was raining buckets at home. I actually could have used a light jacket at night, but really we had perfect bonfire weather. My husband says he really doesn't care to travel back to places once we have visited, but we both agreed that this was one of the best trips yet and we would definitely go back to this same spot again.
And the rambling continues...next stop....Onaway State Park in Onaway, Michigan.
