Still Catching Up, Weather, Sunsets, and New Friends,

Ahmeek, MI.

This post will get everyone caught up through Saturday. The Wi-Fi service was restored to the CG sometime Sunday night, so I'll do Sunday and probably Monday in my next post.  

Ahmeek, MI. – Sunday 7/18/2010

65 deg. mostly cloudy.
Forecast today = high temp. 75 deg. mostly cloudy, chance of showers this afternoon and tonight.

Well, as you will be able to tell when you read this, we still don’t have wi-fi service here at the CG. They, (who ever “they” are), told the people who run this park that the repeater tower would be repaired Friday, but that didn’t happen. :-(  So, again, I’m writing these posts on a word processor with the hopes that, as I did once before, I can copy and paste them to blogger when I do get back on line.

The weather here has been great, with high temps in the mid 70’s and lows in the upper 50’s or low 60’s. The only time we had any rain was the first day we got here, and that was only for a short time in the afternoon. This park’s name is Sunset Bay RV Resort, and I’m here to tell you that it sure lives up to its name. We’ve had beautiful sunsets every night since we’ve been here. Jim has taken photos almost every night and my hopes are that I can share some of them with you when I finally do get these entries posted. I guess the only draw-back to the weather has been the wind. Most days it’s been very windy, and in fact Jim hasn’t put out any of my awnings since we’ve been here.

Saturday night sunset.

Jim and Linda have been going someplace almost every day. Sometimes they just ride around in CLT and look at the scenery and other times they’ve gone into some of the neat shops in the area where they’ve bought gifts and bakery goods.

Friday evening, they went to Slim’s Cafe in the town of Mohawk, where they had a very nice home-cooked meal, but the other nights Jim has been cooking out on his grill, or Linda has put together something inside of me.

Today or tomorrow, the plan is to take CLT and head up to Copper Harbor. There’s supposed to be a couple of really scenic routes up that way, and I know that there’s a couple of stores that Jim and Linda want to go to.

Oh, and I almost forgot!!!! When we got here there was a couple camped across the street from me in a tent. They were traveling on a motorcycle and Jim noticed that it was a Russian made "Ural" brand. Well, being that Jim used to have a Harley, he went over and started talking to the man. Come to find out, his name is Mike, and he and his wife, Jody, were up here for a vacation and to meet with some friends of theirs who were camped in a travel trailer right along side of me. It's a 2010 model motorcycle and has a sidecar that Jody rides in, and this was their first big trip with it.

After talking for a little, Jim asked them where they were from, and guess what? They're from Champaign, IL!!!! Yep, just a little down the road from the Prairie Pines CG that we stay at in Rantoul!!! And, Mike works in Rantoul!!!!!

What a small world!!!!

Anyway, they are a really nice couple and Jim told them that if they were out for a ride or something, to stop by the CG in Rantoul for awhile. And you know what? I think that they will, since Mike and Jim seemed to really hit if off really well. :-)

Did you know that Lake Superior hold about 3 quadrillion gallons of water?
