It is Saturday afternoon and we are at a campground north of Port Huron and south east of Sandusky, Michigan. The weather is hotter—a high of 82°.

Last night we were at a campground at Harrisville, Michigan on the shores of Lake Huron. If I didn’t know it was a lake, I would think I was at the ocean, listening to the waves and seeing only water on the horizon.

Halloween seems to be a big deal especially at the Harrisville State Park. They have decorations everywhere and here is one of the Park Rangers carts.

We have seen lots of other Halloween decorations at the houses we have passed by.

Lots of nice communities along our route on the shore of Lake Huron. If one could handle the harsh winters (as low as 17 below and 84 inches of snow) it might be a nice place to live especially since the median price of a house is $219,000. The homes are all so tidy and well kept with really large lawns. No drought worries here.

The further south we traveled, the more large farms we saw. It looked a lot like the Central Valley of California, although the fields are mostly corn. There are lovely little farm stands with flowers and produce, and it appears that payment is on the honor system as we have not seen any farmers at the stands.

Many days we look for an interesting café or restaurant to stop for lunch. Breakfast and dinners are usually at our campsite. Today we stopped at Elk Street Brewery and Taphouse in Sandusky.

Our lunches have all been delicious and very enjoyable.

Tomorrow we intend to cross into Ontario in route to Niagara Falls. We have adjusted our original route going through Northern Michigan and down Lake Huron versus heading towards Chicago and skirting the Great Lakes from their southern shores. We have heard Niagara Falls from the Canada side is a better way to go.
