I am going to play catch up for a bit so if these first couple posts are a repeat for my FB Friends I apologize.  I decided to blog instead of FB and just put some alerts and a link on line for those who want to join the adventure.  Hope you come along for the trip.

We’re off!! The Great Adventure phase 3 – the Great Circle Tour. Heading through the U P, to Canadian Rockies, to Seattle.  Visiting friends in Kenora, Squamish and Seattle.  Let the Adventures begin!

Day 1 – Great Circle Tour started day with Joel saying ” bad news and good news”. The door lock is stuck again but we left the window unlocked. Guess who gets to climb in. Yep yours truly.

No problem. Except for the fact that the window and my hips are exactly the same width. Just perfect to get wedged in. Half in and half out. Dangling on my belly. No leverage either because my husband wants to save space and test out using a stool not a ladder. He ends up pushing on my fe…et and I twist through the window, slither like a snake onto the seat and then the floor. All the while he’s shouting encouragement and assuring me it’s okay to take my time. 😂

I opened the door and he declared that we were good. We had a solution if it happens again. Does he know I’m not a spring chicken? We’ll be stopping for a replacement door handle/lock along the way. In the meantime no extra calories for me.

Made it to Tahquamenon Falls. Camped along the river. Pancakes and UP Ale for dinner. Our traditional 1st night meal. Life is amazing. We love you all

Tips & Notes

Camped at Lower Falls Campground – Tahquamenon Falls State Park Site 2

Beautiful site along the river banks.  Can’t see much except the glow of sun through the trees unless you walk down the bank to the water.  There you find turtles sunning, roots and rocks creating artistic designs and can watch the water flow by.  There’s a bit of foam from the Tannins in the water.  It makes the water look like a root beer float.  Purely natural, purely Michigan.
