Wednesday started out as planned. We got packed up and on the road by
9:30. We arrived at the municipal
campground and paid $5 to dump and take on water. As we were waiting for our turn at the dump,
Missy said she was going to sneak in a shower at the showerhouse. The dump is on the far side of the
campground, and unlike the front side, it was mostly empty. Not so sardine like, as we thought when we
toured it a few days ago. Also, we
could see peaks of the waves of Lake Superior crashing on shore. I was starting to rethink going to the
National Forest site…why not stay here?
Sure it’s more expensive, but Grand Marais is a quaint town, and there
are plenty of trails and biking nearby.
Also, Cascade State Park is close by for a nice hike. After checking the new forecast, Missy
agreed we should stay here for several days.
Yay! We will get all the
worry-free electric heat that we want!
And 3G internet.
We went back to the office and got a map with sites that are
open for 4 nights. This campground is
huge! Over 200 spots. But like I said, the back end is mostly
empty. So we picked a nice spot that
was surrounded by empty spots. It’s
across from an unused group campsite…so it’s easy to take the dogs on potty
breaks. Plus, there’s a short hiking
trail right here, for Cassie’s exercising needs.
After unhitching, I headed over to the lake. I spent about an hour watching the waves
crashing. As usual, it was therapeutic. Too bad the weather is turning windy and
cool. It would have been awesome to
bring my lounger and spend hours reading and wave watching.
Thursday: Missy did nothing today. She only stepped foot outside the rig when
it was her turn for the dogs’ last pee break at night. I did a TON of research on RVs. We’ve been thinking about maybe trying to
find one that has all of our wish list items.
But, I don’t think such a rig exists.
So after many hours of fruitless searching, I went out with Cassie for a
hike on the nearby trail. It was a
perfect cool fall day.
