Mackinaw City

Went to Mackinaw City last weekend.

Stayed at Mill Creek Campground.

And a LARGE Campground it was!
600 sites!
Was quite busy despite gas at 3.17 a gal.

Here's me in our tight campsite.

This park had the smallest sites

of any park we've been at.

But enough room for our awning and chairs.

We had a great view of the

bridge from the campground.

We had a mile of shoreline at this park.

It is located about

4 miles south east of the city.

This is a pic of me and our friends from

Wisconsin, Dean and Tom.

They have a fifth wheel.

We did all thee tourist things.

Went to mackinaw City,

over the bridge to St Ignace,

and took the ferry to Mackinaw Island.

It's been years since I've been to the island,

but it's the same as I remember it,

lots of fudge and t-shirt shops.

But it's still a beautiful island with

beautiful buildings and flowers. And as you can see, very busy! And do you believe,

$20 for a round trip ferry ride!

Fortunately, we had some

free passes given to me!

We even saw a freighter go

by the island while we were there.

All in all, we had a good time.

July

We had a hot and dry June,
Not alot of rain in July either.
Been having to water alot.
But everything still looks good!

If I had to complain about something, it's those damn Japanese beetles! They devour my rugosa roses as fast as they try to bloom!

But I've learned to live with them and focus on other areas of my garden.
My shade garden is coming along especially well!

My computer CRASHED!
I started it up, and got the dreaded blue screen of death telling me windows could not load because a file was missing or corrupt.
to make a long story short, I had a hard drive failure. I ended up getting a new hard drive.
Lost everything. Fortunately I had saved most of my stuff to disk!
The worst part was getting all my favorites back. Damn computers.
