June 2: After
leaving Allendale at 5:20 am, we stopped for a wonderful breakfast at
Micky D's! Well, at least it filled our hollow spot and got us to
Ludington right at 7:30, where we got on the Badger and enjoyed a
great 4-hour trip over to Wisconsin. It was a bit windy and the
weather prediction wasn't sunny, but we were determined that the
weather wasn't going to make a difference on our first day of our
trip.
The Badger headed out right at 8:30 and we were out on the deck
to enjoy the wind in our hair and look out on beautiful Lake
Michigan. That lasted about five minutes out on the water, because
it became so foggy we couldn't even see the wake the boat was
churning up. That lasted all the way over to Wisconsin. We still
weren't going to let it bother us. We went inside and got a little
more breakfast and then joined a group who were playing bingo to pass
the time. We had so much fun and Rich even won a couple “great”
prizes for getting bingo. Actually, the Badger isn't noted for its
terrific prizes! We met some great fellow travelers and had fun
sharing a few stories with each other. When we arrived on the shores
of Manitowoc, we were in the middle of a thunderstorm with pouring
rain. We tried out our new rain proof jackets and are happy to say
they did their job.
We are now sitting in our “campground” for
the night called Wally World just north of Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin.
We weren’t so sure about staying here for the night, but decided we
should give it a try. I think we are adjusting to our surroundings
and just may have a good night's rest. Tomorrow we will head for
Duluth, MN. It's been a good day.
