Onward to Michigan

We left Ohio this morning about 10am, felt bad we left the cats at home but none the less - we did. A cat sitter is coming by daily so they should be fine. We drove 4 hours up route 23/Interstate 75 to Frankenmuth. This town is a large German/Bavarian settlement. We have been here before so we opted to eat at the Bavarian Inn where it's a family style dinner. Of course - ate too much. Weird observances by both of us - most of the people we saw were quite unhealthy - very overweight, very disabled (wheelchairs/struggling to walk) and just a very sad looking group of people. Depressing.

We had gotten the RV back from the dealer on Saturday the 12th and decided to pack up and get out of town. We are heading to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, to Picture Rocks National Park, and on to Houghton where copper mines are. From there we go to Marquette and take a ferry over to Isle Royale National Park (island) where we have to spend the night since we can't get there and back in one day. Then we leave to head to Duluth Minnesota, on to Wisconsin and then down to Illinois and Indiana. Quick trip - have to be home by the 3rd of July - got commitments.

Have some trouble with the RV already. We can't get the front jacks down using electric hookup or the battery. Have to be hooked to the truck to do this. Has worked fine in the past and now why is this doing it? An annoyance, but able to function anyhow. At least everything else (so far) is working. Tomorrow we head to Mackinac City where we'll stay for about 3 or 4 days. We want to go over the Mackinac Island and then go to Tahquenema Falls which is located about 1 hour north of there. These falls are the largest north of the Mississippi.
