Sunday August 4

We found an 8 o’clock Mass this morning, then started the drive down the Michigan Peninsula.  Route 23 runs along the eastern shore through many small towns and lakefront communities.  It’s a pleasant attractive drive.  Again the primary goal today was to make progress toward home, so there was no sightseeing except from the car seat.  In the first hour we reached the Mackinac Bridge over the strait between Lake Michigan and Lake Huron.  The bridge ends at Mackinaw City on the northern tip of the Michigan peninsula, and that’s were we picked up Rt. 23.  The only stop was for smoked fish, whitefish and trout.  We’re camped in the Bay City State Park near Bay City, MI.  The sites are huge, there is electricity, it’s great.
