We took off today towards Alpena, intending to take the week wandering along the shores of Lake Huron. After the busyness of the last few weeks, a break will be nice.
We had a bit of packing to finish up after church this morning, so we didn’t make it on the road until almost 2pm, but we made good time, only stopping twice, first for supplies in Big Rapids, then to eat dinner at a kayak launch location on the Au Sable River. So we made the four-hour trip in just over four hours, rather unusual for us as we are rather fond of turning a two-hour trip into twelve hours.
Several sites open here at Ossineke State Forest Campground, we chose one near the water and parked and walked the beach for a while. The water is surprisingly warm, and several people were swimming, even this late in the day.
In the spirit of the 4th of July, someone spent some time creating a sand-flag, which was still very well preserved on the nearly-deserted beach. Happy 4th!
