We thought it was going to rain during the night, so we had
packed up the camp the night before. However, we awoke to dry skies and the new
forecast had rain coming around 10 am.
We let the kids sleep until about 7:45 and then we did a
breakfast of eggs and bacon. We are steadily working our way through the food
and are able to consolidate things– which is a nice feeling!
The mosquitos were AWFUL this morning. We were all in
long-sleeves, had four citronella candles on the table, and had been using the
weak bug repellent, but they were still all over us. We were constantly
swatting them away as we ate and as we packed up the campsite. Par for the
course, Andrew was extremely helpful with packing up the sleeping bags and
sleeping pads. We had Carolyn do a little more this time, and Andrew patiently
taught her the best way to roll the sleeping pads. Carolyn swept out the tents
and Michael got them folded up. After Michael washed the dishes, I packed them
up and then put away the clothes. Just as we were packing away the final
things, it started raining – perfect timing!

Our next destination was Porcupine Mountains Wilderness
Park, but we decided to stop at Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore first because
it was on the way and Andy had great things to say about it. He told us the
best way to see the rock cliffs was from the water, but we didn’t see any
options for renting kayaks – just taking guided tours which were fairly
expensive. So, we decided to go to the overlook at Miner’s Castle. We were
completely fogged in and couldn’t see anything (good thing we didn’t pay for a
boat tour!).

We did get to see some rocks |
We continued on to Porcupine Mountains and ate lunch in the
car. We had the kids catch up on their journal entries before they did tablet
time because it was a 3 ½ hour drive. Carolyn rushed through hers but she gave
sufficient details to earn tablet time. Andrew had some nice pencil drawings,
and Matthew highlighted playing basketball at the Franks’ house as his favorite
thing in Michigan.
The drive to Porcupine Mountains was rather desolate and we
were surrounded by green forest on either side of us. As we got closer to the
campground, we started driving alongside Lake Superior – it was beautiful. We
checked in, and I was so disappointed to be reminded that we were changing
campsites after our first night. I completely forgot that I had to book two
different sites due to lack of availability, and we had been looking forward to
not packing up a campsite after one night.
Our campsite was out in the open, not exactly level, and surrounded by
other campsites; but we were right across from the playground and the kids
always love the playgrounds.
After we set up camp, we headed to the Lake of the Clouds.
It was a lake nestled into mountains and the vista was amazing. Andrew and
Carolyn each took pictures of me and Michael overlooking the lake, and they
decided to have a competition. We voted Andrew’s as the best picture because he
had the best framing. There was hardly anyone there so it was peaceful and very
enjoyable. We stopped by the park store on the way back to get ice – and they
kids all wanted ice cream at the park store. They used their souvenir money for
it and I also grabbed a “Porkies” sticker. They said it was the best ice cream
ever and Michael said it was pretty good! Carolyn got a Blue Moon/Cotton Candy
combo, Dani got Superman, and Andrew got Toasted Caramel Apple Crisp.

Our first campsite at Porcupine Mtns |
When we got back to the campsite, we heated up chili for
dinner and it was still good. Then the kids took off to the playground where
they entertained themselves for 2.5 hours. There were a lot of kids there and
they were all playing together – mostly playing memory tag. Meanwhile, Michael
and I enjoyed a quiet campfire and had one of the beers we bought in Leland.
The kids finally came back to the campsite around 9:30, so we did s’mores. We
hung out by the fire telling stories because it was still daylight. The kids
asked for a scary/horror story, so Michael told the history of vampires vs. werewolves.
The kids weren’t satisfied with the scare-level of that story and asked for one
like I told from camping last fall (Argyle Road ghost). Reluctant at first
because he didn’t want Matthew and Dani to have nightmares, Michael decided to
tell the haunted story of Abigail’s. The kids seemed to enjoy it – especially
when he drew them in with a quiet voice and then startled them with a loud
sound.
The sun set at 10 pm but it was still dusk until 10:30, and
we called it a night shortly thereafter. We bundled up in sweatshirts because
it was a cool night. Andrew even used the hood of his sleeping blanket and
looked like a mummy, but we all slept comfortably.
*Oh, while we were at Lake of the Clouds, the campsite
directly behind us had set up, and they had a large camper. They had backed it
in only a foot away from our tents – and that was the entry side of our tents.
It was a little frustrating, but the owner came over shortly after and
apologized saying they had to position it to reach the outlet and he didn’t
realize that side of our tents was our doors. We probably should have turned
the entry a different way. Needless to say, it felt a little cramped.
Day 14 - Porcupine Mountains
We had a very leisurely morning. Michael got up around 7 and
I rolled out of the tent around 7:45. The birds still woke me up at 6 am, but I
easily fell back asleep. It was a cool morning (50 degrees), so we stayed in
our sweatshirts. Michael had already
prepped the eggs and sausage for breakfast, so we enjoyed a quiet morning (hot
chocolate for me, coffee for Michael) for a short period before the kids
started waking up around 8:30.
After breakfast, the kids went back to the playground while
Michael and I cleaned up. We “semi-packed” and got permission to go straight to
other campsite since the previous people had already left. We kept the sleeping
pads inflated and didn’t roll up the sleeping bags – made it go so much faster.
Our next campsite was the best in many ways and the worst in
one way – we were directly on Lake Superior and it was breathtaking; but it was
a rocky shore, and that spread into our campsite, so our tents were on rocks
(thank goodness for sleeping pads).

The always helpful boy scout...notice the rocky pad |
After we set up camp – again – we went to Presque Isle (about 30 miles away but still within the park - fun fact: Porcupine Mtns is the largest state park in Michigan). The hike at Presque Isle was approximately 1 mile and had several lookouts for waterfalls. We did a picnic lunch and ran into
people who live in Orange Beach part-time. They have a daughter who went to
Auburn and a son who was an LSU alum. Michael was wearing his Alabama shirt, so
it created fun conversation.
The waterfalls were really pretty and we enjoyed the
scenery. The falls ran over shale rock
that had been shaped into semi-circles by the falls. The walk was fairly easy
but there were lots of steps to get to observation decks for the falls. We
stepped out onto the shale rocks for one of the waterfalls and got a closer
look.

The "porcupine" mountains |
There was a suspension bridge that crossed the Presque Isle River and led to a rocky lakeshore area. On the lakeshore, several teepees had been made out of driftwood, and the kids immediately claimed them as headquarter. The girls pretended it was a house and they “cooked a meal” using the rocks and the flowers they found.

Lake Superior |
We were planning to visit Summit Peak – the highest point in
the state park – but we realized we were low on gas. Our driving range was 30
miles and we were likely a good 15-20 miles from our campsite – and we hadn’t
seen any gas stations anywhere near the state park. The Gas Buddy app suggested
there was gas about 10 miles from where we were, but the name of the location
was a hotel – that didn’t seem accurate to us. We tried to call the number to
clarify if there was a gas station by them, but we had really poor service and
the lady couldn’t understand me. We headed in that direction hopeful that Gas
Buddy wouldn’t steer us wrong (and really having no other option). Sure enough,
there was a single gas pump at the hotel – apparently, they mostly use the gas
for snow mobiles in the winter – so we said a little thank you prayer!
Unfortunately, it was premium gas at $5/gallon – but we had gas and Michael
could breathe a sigh of relief.
Instead of backtracking to Summit Peak, we played Disc Golf
(which was preferred by the kids) at the Winter Sports Complex. It was an
18-hole course, and we played the back-9 because those were the holes that went
up and down the ski slopes so it was more picturesque. It also meant skinnier
fairways and lots of trees surrounding them. Except for Michael, we’re all
pretty bad disc golfers, so we were traipsing in the woods/brush quite
frequently. Carolyn even lost her disc about halfway through – and that was
after we all looked for 10-15 minutes. But everyone seemed to have fun and it
was cool to be at the top of the ski slopes. Dani and I were on a team and she took over when we got close to the baskets. Every time she got it in, she sang "Oh yeah..I won! Oh yeah...I won!." I think technically Dani and I won
(we didn’t include Michael in the scoring), but most of us reached our agreed
upon 7-toss limit for every hole (I strongly disagree with them all being Par
3s – ha!).

We got back to the campsite around 5:30 and had our final leftovers for dinner (bountiful soup for some; hamburgers for some). We did a really good job with our food and had no cold food remaining – we ran out of everything at exactly the right time. We had also worked our way through the pantry items and were just starting to run out of stuff like bread/chips at the right time. It felt good to start consolidating things and to not have to worry about keeping the ice chest stocked with ice. We also transferred all of our drinks to the ice chest which opened up room in the trailer.
We spent the evening on the lakeshore at our campsite. I read by the fire, we played Exploding Kittens, and the kids spent a significant amount of time building a “rock bridge” with two other boys who were camping across from us (T.J. and Lincoln). We had planned to do a peach cobbler but we forgot the butter -so we did one last night of s’mores

Sunset on Lake Superior |
The sunset (9:55) was gorgeous from our campsite and we
watched it from the rocks. Because it was still dusk for a while and the fire
was still going, we didn’t call it a night until close to 11. It was a little
bittersweet knowing it was last night camping.
