We got up this morning and started loading up. Susan and Pam went to a laundremat to wash all our clothes.. They were a little sticker shocked at the $2.50 a load for washing and the .25 for 5 minutes for drying. We have seen this  twice now and are recinsidering the need for a washer/dryer combo on our next trailer. When Greg and I were loaded we headed out. Susan and Pam caught up with us about an hour later. The drive was a easy one with great scenery. We stopped at a roadside park to have lunch. Susan and Pam had stopped at a farmers market and bought some fresh cherries, they were tasty. Crossing the Mackinaw Bridge ($16.00 toll for truck/trailer) was spectacular. The water was so very blue and there were several ships. We arrived at Loons Point Campground and set up. We have a water view and this is a nice small campground. This was the first day that we had really nice temperatues, the high was about 77.  Had a nice evening outside. It still takes a little getting used to the daylight lasting after 10 pm.
