Home for the night has been Site 15 at the Lake Michigan Campground in Hiawatha National Forest just west of St Ignace, Michigan on US-2. No hookups but with our NPS Senior Pass the fee was only $10 for a lakefront site. The fact that we could get decent Verizon data speeds made it a good place for blogging and trip planning. The mosquitoes made it a good place to demonstrate that Thermacell technology works but also made us more inclined to hang out inside. There are some sites that would be great for solar but we chose a forested site so we could keep the shade open and enjoy the view from our stargazer window!
Off the beaten path is Hampstead is the more than three hundred year old Burgh House with a fascinating history. It’s now a community center, local museum, gallery, concert venue, event space, and more open to the public four days a week. We popped over for a bite to eat and to peruse the galleries to learn a little more about Hampstead history.
Ever since its debut on Broadway the two of us have wanted to see “Wicked the Musical”. Today we realized that dream. In the Apollo Victoria Theater in London’s West End we were witness to the incredible prequel to The Wizard of Oz, the story of the Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.
Looks like a fun and beautiful place. Miss you guys.
Stay safe and God Bless
