On to Michigan / by Dave Hileman

Today was another get into position day. We are now on a farm on the Keneewa Peninsula in Michigan so that tomorrow we can go north and explore the copper mining region and visit the National Historic Park that is located here. We enjoyed our stay in the beautiful lakeside RV park in Washburn. The 51 spaces were full and it seems like a good way for a small town to earn some revenue without taxing people more. They will generate $250,000 plus for a season. And they have two parks, so over 500k. Anyway a nice sunrise here. At the farm that was begun in 1880 we toured five of the original buildings. All of them are showing their age but are solid as the young couple begins to shape their dream to be self-sufficient here on the 120 acres of fields, forest, orchards and pasture. Will be a challenge for them.

Update Cadillac - where, what and with whom — for his fans.

I had to rest today because captaining a boat is hard work and it taxes my antlers. The best thing about today was the apple cider donut the Driver bought for himself but my PA ordered extra. It is good to be a star. We are on a farm with some Moosey possibilities, so I may forage tonight after dinner cause it is just a burger.
