We've crossed the UP and stopped for a bit in Sault Ste Marie, MI to develop film and prepare for Canadian Adventure. We found a free National Park Service campground last night in the dark and pitched our tent on wet, sandy leaves and cooked dinner on the stove under the picnic table. We had assumed there'd be water there, but found none and had only a few cups, which was not enough to cook with, drink, and save for coffee in the morning, so we had to make some tough decisions. I slept like a rock in my snowpants and two sleeping bags, but Kelly had a harder time, and we woke up around 9 and finally saw our campsite in the woods. We packed to the sound of hunting gunshots. Moving on, we drove along Lake Michigan in simultaneous sun and rain and took hobo showers in a grocery store bathroom and probably have been drinking too much coffee. We hope Canada has the internet and good, free campgrounds. And no snow. Yay! iphone photos:

Spongy seaweed.
Seaweed (lakeweed?) piles and driftwood.
Our campsite in the mornin.
Cooking in the dark and rain! Quinoa with pepper, sweet potato and apricot. We'll have to work on our manifold stew skills tomorrow.
