| Harbor Beach Lighthouse |
June
10 – We heard the pitter patter of rain again but it stopped by the time we
left! Yippee! Today’s first stop is Harbor Beach. No stamp available and the Harbor Beach Lighthouse
is way out on a breakwater but my camera was able to get a pretty decent
photo.
Next
was on up the coast to Port Hope, home of Point aux Barques Lighthouse. It’s a very pretty lighthouse and I got

my
stamp. I actually had too many places
planned for today and Bill got up late so we didn’t make all of the stops. The roads are along the water and not 4
lanes, so not quick to travel. We did
notice that in all of the towns and along the road where there are houses on
both sides, there are lights, not on posts but on a line across the road every
so many feet. We decided it’s because of
the deer and not being able to see them.
I had to slow for a deer today and 2 big dogs and we’ve seen a number of
dead deer along the roads.
Port
Austin Reef Lighthouse, built in 1899, is out on a reef and I got

a photo, not
so great but did get my stamp. We had to
skip Saginaw River
Range and made it to Tawas Point
Lighthouse in East Tawas. The lighthouse dates to 1876.

We were about 15 minutes too late for the
last tour of the day but got some nice photos.
Since we were driving the RV towing the truck, we almost got into a
pickle in the parking area. Thankfully a
car moved in time for us to leave and another held up to let us get out.
Our
last stop of the day was Sturgeon Point Lighthouse,

constructed in 1869 in
Harrisville. We got to see it but it was
closed for sure when we arrived. It’s in
very good condition and the grounds are lovely.
Of course most of the lighthouses come with a great view!
Now
to find our campground for the next 2 nights!
I booked us in a county park called Beaver
Lake Park,
near Lachine. It’s kinda out there but it’s on a beautiful
lake and has lots of activities for kids.
It was nice that it’s not a weekend as there were only 9 rigs in the
park and no kids. Very quiet and
peaceful! The problem was the space wasn’t
close to level. It took us a while to
find the angle in the space (we had a whole corner) that our leveling system
would agree to. We had to block up the
front tires and legs, but it finally leveled!
It
was well after 7 and I had planned to cook a nice meal but Bill suggested we
have pot pies and save the meal for tomorrow night. We did get great Directv reception so we must
have picked the exact spot on the spot!
We
watched a little TV and that was it for a long day!
