Camping with Patrick



We had a great time in Atlanta (Michigan) camping at Clear Lake State Park. We went on lots of drives looking for elk (they were hiding this trip). But we saw deer and turkeys and lots of beautiful flowers. We stopped at Bear Den Lake - but no Loons were there - we had to go to Seney Wildlife Refuge to see the one above. I cooked on the fire for most of the trip - we had great breakfasts but we have learned to have Pat cook the eggs inside the trailer while I cook everything else outside. The best thing I did to prepare for the trip was make rolls - we used them for toast in the morning and for the buns to our Italian sausages with peppers and onions.




Then on Saturday we took a day trip from there to Grand Marais to see Mr. Lepeak. That was a nice trip. We first stopped in Seney to drive through the trails - we saw loons and swans.




After sitting for an hour in the backyard with the sun, the wind, and feeling as if we were in heaven, we went to church with Mr. Lepeak. That was fun - as only Grand Marais church can be - then we went back to the house for a pizza and the best raspberry wine anywhere - mmmmmm. Then back to Atlanta - we got back just as it turned dark around 10 pm and we camped one more night and then home.

We took Pat's parents out for dinner to celebrate his Mom's birthday - we had a nice visit with them. And now - back to work in a couple of hours.
