Day 2.5

Today was an almost kind of day.  We almost went on a boat ride to see the islands.  It was too foggy and windy.  So we went shopping and Bob bought a really expensive sweatshirt.  Even though it is almost Summer, it certainly isn’t here in the North.  So anyway, even Bob was cold – hence the extra purchase… So then we had locally caught whitefish at the “Pickled Herring Club” and I almost liked it.  I am glad they didn’t tell me about the skin-on frying process (ew).  Anyway, the setting was nice because we could see the lake until it disappeared into the fog.   So really, it could have been a small pond instead of Lake Superior (who knows maybe it was the Ocean) hard to say really, because we could only see maybe ¼ mile out. .

When we got back to the campsite there was a half hour or so of sunshine (YAY!) I read my book in the blissfulness that is water lapping against rocks. There were birds chirping and no bugs.  Then we lost the sun and I had to go put on my parka.  Pretty much. 

Tonight we almost have a fire.  More of a smudge.   A smoke fest.  I may have done irreparable smoke damage to my sweatshirt.  Bob even got me some good firewood from the camp office and still it smolders.  I am determined to have s’mores , so here I go.

I just want to know, am I seriously Blogging from my phone? Do I even.need a laptop?

Day 1.5

Ok. So I guess I do have internet here. I don’t know if I can be a true camper and have a blog, but here I go…

We are at it again and doing stuff. The dogs are annoying and fun at the same time and already have found a dead crab claw to roll in. We camped last night at Clear Lake, IA and discovered that our drinking water was more like a swamp. I think it had life threatening levels of methane. Yuck! Bob fixed it. Now we are safely here in Red Cliff, WI. If I had remembered the right cord for my camera you could also see our beautiful views of Madeline Island and some other island too insignificant to have a name. We are tired and ready to settle down for the night.
