Pictured Rocks National Lake Shore - Not 299 as we were here before / by Dave Hileman

I was up at the crack of dawn (6:45:) to help feed the livestock, pigs, chickens and rabbits. What I did was to watch AJ toss apples and seeds over a fence and then I was able to pet a rabbit. And Cadillac thought farms chores were tough. We moved east into the heart of the UP in Michigan with the day’s destination a re-visit to Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. We camped yards from the beach at 12 Mile Beach campground in a perfect spot. The day was bright and temperate so we spent an hour and a half sitting on the beach. Perfect. Then off to a 3.4 miles hike to a light house on the North Country Trail. Nice hike along the shore and past some wrecks from an earlier era. The lighthouse complex was extensive but no signage or people to explain anything. We had an excellent dinner in the trailer. Fine day.

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

I slept in this morning to recover from the manual labor yesterday. I searched for more donuts but there were none, the day was not off to a good start. We were on the move again and stopped at some sort of strange place where in the woods were metal displays in strange configurations. Why we did this, ask the driver! We did drive to some very Moosey places and are staying where I can forage a decent meal, not as good as a donut, however.
