Day 12 +118=2470 miles

 Checked into Lake Shore RV Park on lake Michigan near St. Ignace, MI  We got here in time for lunch by the lake.
Waded in Lake Michigan

 Went to the Taste of Upper Peninsula and bought Yooper beer.  Learned that you have to be born a Yooper, someone who lives on the Upper Peninsula
 One of the specialties of this area is pasties.  That is PASS, not PASTE.  They are made with pie crust filled with beef roast, chicken, vegetables, including rutebega.
Wild rice is harvested in these northen states.  Got some to try the next time I cook dinner for the group.  
Drove into town and walked the boardwalk.  Then bought tickets for the ferry to Mackinac Island and a carriage tour.  More about the island tomorrow.
