The Upper Lower Peninsula

So we made it to Hearthside RV Resort.  This is one of the Top 10 RV resorts in the US.  And wow!!  It is a Class A resort only & they have age restrictions too.  Only well maintained RV's only.  As we drive towards out spot we notice mostly Prevost's Newell's and Foretravel's.  All very highend coaches.

We get settled in to an immaculately maintained spot.  Perfectly level concrete pad, flowers, and patio table.  Our lawn gets watered twice a day.  The resort has two lodges, a pool & hot tub.  The laundry is brand new & free.  We get comfortable quickly.

Rita wants a day to lounge around so Hunter & I slip in a round of golf at the Traverse Bay Golf Club. Since I have hardly played this year we decide to just scramble & enjoy ourselves.

Yes, this course is a tad hilly, so, a lot of elevated tee boxes.  But what views.

The next day we head to Mackinac Island.  We take the ferry to the island.  Of course its a jet boat

There are no vehicles on the island, everything is horse based or bicycles.  We took a guided carriage ride around the island.

 The golf course has electric carts, but you had to take a horse drawn carriage to the course.  Then we toured the mansion hotel.

Front porch of the hotel.  Chairs & tables everywhere to sit & relax.

The jet boat ride back is windier & rougher so the spray was much worse.  Hunter got really dowsed, Rita hid under her hoody.

As we drove back to the resort i spotted a roadside sign for a restaurant called Moose Jaw Junction.  With a name like that I made a quick turn and headed that way.  Rita was a bit concerned on quality so a quick Yelp check shows great ratings.  As we head there it's 10 miles of the main route & offers no cell service.  Once we arrive in Larks Lake we find Moose Jaw Junction and we are able to see the whole town in one place.  Two buildings, the township hall & the tavern.  

It's pretty crowded but its all locals.  We decide to wait for a table at the bar & make instant friends with the locals.

I try the suggested beers and we dine on local recommendations.  Lake Superior Lobster.  It's actually white fish but cooked in butter & it is unbelievable!  After dinner it's back to CC and relaxing.

While here we rented some e-bikes to see what they were like.  Hunter & I loved them, Rita still not to sure.  The discussion is do we want bikes for exercise?  Or to get around?  The e-bikes certainly increase your range.  The discussion will continue.

We also played a round of miniature golf.  I kicked everyone's but!!

Wrapping up here and moving a little east to the other coast of Michigan on Lake Huron
