Gladstone, Michigan

We left the rock that could have rearranged our bumper

Departing Fawn Lake Campground

and sliding into Eastern Time as we crossed the border into Michigan.

We weren't the only ones celebrating the border crossing with a quick pic, as you can see.  These gals had parked and were getting ready to pose in front of the welcome sign.

As soon as we arrived, Momma took off in the Ram leaving Dad to complete the set up.  She was on her way for another, much needed adjustment from a local chiropractor.  She returned smiling. 

Saturday morning, the two-legged headed into nearby Escanaba with several goals in mind.  I'm delighted to report the first task was locating my replacement treats for 'loading in the truck' from Tractor Supply.  

Then it was off to the Sand Point Museum.  What a collection!  And so well organized.  Everything from period clothing

To unique transportation

Musical players and instruments

Logging tools

Cash registers

And much, much more.

Right next door was the Lighthouse.

It was interesting to note that the wife of the lighthouse keepers was the first one to light and keep the light lit as her husband passed away just as the building was completed.  

Now a more modern light is used.

An additional goal of the day was to locate some great tasting pasties.  Everyone's recommendation was the same.  Go to 

Did you bring home one of those meat, carrot, rutabaga wrapped in pastry for me?  I would have even been happy with one of the other flavored pasties.  Maybe the next time?  After all, we will be in Michigan for a few more weeks.
