Cold in the UP

We left Birch Run (Frankenmuth) by 10am this morning and had an easy ride straight up I75 across the Mackinac Bridge to St. Ignace (just north of the bridge). And it's cold! Right now it's 57 out and should get down to the 40's tonight. Good thing we brought heavier clothes. We got quickly back into the routine of living in an RV and of course - making some costly mistakes of doing routine things and possibly breaking some things - we should know better by now. Hopefully when we hook back up on Friday morning all systems will check out okay, with the exception of the annoying jack problem from day one.
Something cool - just south of Cheboygan near Gaylord we passed a sign that said we were at the 45th parallel and that the North Pole and the Equator were exactly the same distance from that point. No wonder it is colder. Dave said that we needed to start looking for Santa's toy shop.
Tomorrow we will drive about an hour north to Whitefish Point on the most northern point of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. If we drive any further we will be wet from driving into Lake Superior. There is a Shipwreck Museum of the Great Lakes that we want to go to and a bird sanctuary. From there we will drive to go to Tahquamenon Falls which are the highest falls north of the Mississippi. Hit the sand dunes about 20 miles from here, see Father Marguette National Monument on the way back.
