29 August 2023 Ontonagon to Mackinaw City

 The drive across the Upper Peninsula (284 miles) put us on two lane roads the majority of the time. We drove across the Mackinaw Bridge for the second time. The first time back in 2018, we had to stay on the inside lane where the metal grid road surface kept grabbing and the Wanderer’s tires and shifting it around making for a scary drive. This time, we were able to stay in the outside paved lane, but the winds were high, so we had to keep our speed at 25mph. But it was a lot less scary this time. We are staying at the Mackinaw Mill Creek Campground ($94.16 per night). While checking in, they asked if we were there for the Mackinaw Bridge Walk. We had heard of the bridge walk before, but had not associated it with the Labor Day weekend. So, we may do the walk just for the experience. Our site is a large back in site that we had no trouble backing into (it wasn’t until the next day that we noticed we had backed into the wrong site, but they moved things around so we could stay in the site we backed into). This is a huge RV park on the Lake Huron Shoreline. Our primary reason to stay here is to get through the holiday weekend.
