Let's see, where was I? Oh yeah, I left Midland and stayed a night at the Soaring Eagle Casino in Mt. Pleasant.

They got rid of my favorite blackjack machines so I didn't stay. |

From Mt. Pleasant I continued west until I got back to one of my favorite boondocking locations in Michigan, the Manistee National Forest in the Lake Michigan Recreation Area which I reviewed here:

I had such a perfect campsite I stayed for eight days and only left because I ate all my food. From the National forest I stayed a night at a campground in Lake City before heading up to Charlevoix where some of my college buddies were renting condos.

The lake that gives Lake City it's name. |

The first night with them I stayed at a condo at the Charlevoix Country Club.

I didn't get to golf it but the course looked like green carpet. |

From the country club we moved a few miles closer to Charlevoix. The weather was just perfect.

And I guess that gets things to about the middle of July so you're pretty much current with my activities and travels (almost).
Thanks for reading!
