Back in the US of A

Headed south/homeward bound.  Started our trek back to the ol' Martin Manor today.  Tomorrow we make it to northern Illinois and then home on Saturday.  It started out dreary this morning with patchy fog and heavy overcast skies. At least it wasn't raining as predicted.  It has warmed up as we drove southerly into the low 80s.

We crossed the International Bridge over the Saint Mary's River early this morning and forgot that Jo had bought some cuties (small tangerines) a couple of days ago.  Citrus is not allowed to be brought into the US.  The agent gave us a scolding and a paper with crossing regulations before telling us to not do it again, have a nice day.  The Good news is that now with our new camping rig we are only charged the auto rate for tolls.  With the trailers we avoided tolls where possible because they always count axles and charge accordingly.  Then we crossed the Mackinaw Straits bridge again with only the auto rate for the toll.

Tonight we are near Muskegon, MI in another KOA.  Back in 2003 we stopped at this KOA on a trip to the Upper Peninsula without advanced reservations and it was totally full so had to find an alternate campground.  This time the campground is almost totally vacant with only a half dozen campers here.  The office was closed with our reservation marked on a campground map and taped to the front door.

At least I am back to my own AT&T Wi-Fi hot spot for my computer connection and don't have to rely on a campground's iffy offering.
