Out West Adventure: Part 2--Going home 3

Mon. July 1: We took a bit more time today to get going and only intended to go about 250 miles. We stopped at the Great Lakes Visitors Center in Wisconsin nearly to the Michigan border and had our picnic sitting in the sun where the temperature off Lake Superior was about 58°. Most of the drive was sunny and in the low to mid-seventies. We chose to camp at Golden Lake, a US Forest Service campground near Iron Mountain but as we unhitched we had second thoughts because of the horrible mosquitoes. But we found that in the sun and breeze at the shore of the lake, which our campsite overlooked, they weren’t a problem. So we spent the rest of the afternoon reading and relaxing. In the camper for dinner and dishes we found we had to wear insect repellent and never did find out where the little buggers were getting in. But as the evening cooled off the mosquitoes calmed down and we were able to get a good night’s sleep.
