Fayette, MI – Back to St. Ignace, MI
Odometer: 9302.3
Stayed at a Coastal Campground View of Big Mack (the bridge) and some freighters in the fog. Decided to take the coastal route to head home and we are still amazed at the rest areas in Michigan. We did stop at one rest area to wet our feet in Lake Huron.
(YES FOLKS THIS IS A REST AREA)

Traversing Canada
Odometer: 9302.39724.0
Entered Canada with lots of worry, having heard of all the horror stories. It was a funny feeling knowing you were driving in a Foreign Country but it actually looked just like the good old USA. Their farms and barns were all in beautiful condition. RE-entered US with no problems at all. The Border Patrol Officer was actually from Norwood, MA.

HOME, Tow bar incident
Odometer: 9724.0
Pulled into a rest area to check maps for local museums when Ron noticed he could see the Jeeps mirror in the RV mirror. Not a good thing!!! After checking, we discovered 2 bolts on the drivers side of the Tow Receiver had fallen out and the pressure of the jeep pushing against the remaining side had broken the weld (FUN OVER). We disconnected the jeep and Deb had to drive it home. In hind site we were fortunate it did not break loose on the turnpike as there could have been a REAL TRAGEDY.
