Traverse Bay RV Resort

Our campground for the next four nights is a major step up in quality from our earlier experiences. 'Resort' is an appropriate name for this place. Those readers who have been to Crystal Lake in Florida or who have stayed at an Outdoor Resorts facility understand what this resort is like. We even have excellent wi-fi service.

We left Mackinac City this morning making a diesel fuel stop for Larry and Jim. We followed US Route 31 south because we were to have lunch in Petoskey, MI. When we arrived in Petoskey we could not find a location to park three coaches while we toured the community. We missed a turn in Petosky and found we could not turn the coaches around, so we continued on toward Traverse City and our campground. We will drive cars back to Petoskey tomorrow for shopping and sightseeing.

The resort offered pizza in the clubhouse at 6:00 PM tonight for those in the park. We all went and enjoyed seeing many happy owners and renters who were enjoying themselves and the pizza. It was fun and the pizza was good.

After dinner, our traveling group went to the clubhouse to plan the next three days and to begin a game of Phase 10. The game will take several days to complete because are late night stamina is virtually none existent. We adjourned by 9:30 PM each to their own coach. Petoskey is on for tomorrow. Linda and Janice are going, so Jim and Ralph are assured a seat.

Janice called Tom and Joanne Anderson of Crystal Lake and Traverse City. We hope they will call back tomorrow with suggestions about how we can get together in the next few days.

We had a rain shower late this afternoon that may have lasted 30 minutes. It was the first significant rain we have seen. Thunderstorms were is the forecast, but did not materialize.

Everyone is feeling a bit tired. We have been on the road for two weeks tomorrow. This afternoon everyone did laundry. The facilities here are excellent. We have clean beds and clean clothes for whatever comes next. We will sleep well tonight.
