The Upper Peninsula

August 14, 2007

We are in the Whispering Valley RV Park in Rapid River, MI.  We've got cable and Wi-Fi so we are happy.  We will continue our trip along route 2 toward Duluth after spending another night to relax and explore.  Tonight we walked around the campground and talked with the owner about his hunting exploits.  There is a small pond on the grounds and he gave us a cup of trout chow to feed the half a dozen rainbow trout which are around 7 pounds and 17 inches each.  It was quite an experience so we asked a family playing nearby to join us.  We then spent a while talking to three couples from Quebec and New Brunswick on their way to Calgary and Vancouver.  Our French was broken but their English was better so it was an enjoyable conversation.
