Lake Huron and the Blue Water Region of Michigan

One week ago, we moved over to the

Blue Water Area of Michigan to the

St Clair Thousand Trails Campground

located about 15 minutes from Lake Huron

it’s fairly big rig friendly. . .but Dave and I have a very special talent.

We usually unhook the jeep, and drive around the park

to find what we think is the most easily accessible, most level

50 amp FHU spot available. . .so that’s what we did. . .

and this was it. . .easy in. . .lovely. . .but of course

there’s a problem with the 50 amp. . .

’cause that’s what we excel at. . .

if there’s one breaker that needs to be changed in any park. . .

that is the spot we WILL choose. . .so what’cha gonna do. . .

no biggie. . .plug in to the 30 amp. . .and maintenance will come

in the morning to change the breaker. . .and they did. . .

johnny on the spot. . .next morning. . .taken care of! 

That’s good customer service for sure. . .

we’ve been thrilled to add a handful of birds to our life list. . .

this is a Scarlet Tanager. . .

a European Starling. . .which evidently is a bully from what folks

on Facebook have told me when I was trying to identify it. . .

our very, very fave has been the Baltimore Oriole.

I put out some grape jelly, since Judy (Travels With Emma) said they love it. . .

they’ve been visiting regularly. . .so I think she knows a thing or two about it. . .

we made our way to Port Huron to see the Fort Gratiot Lighthouse

right at the mouth of the Saint Clair River. . .

observed the Bridge to Canada but decided not to go over at this point. . .

will go over to Canada later when we reach Sault Ste Marie.

Lake Huron is the second largest Great Lake by surface area

and the fifth largest freshwater lake in the world. . .


We have thoroughly enjoyed exploring the Blue Water Region this week. . .

see you later at the Henry Ford Museum. . .Dearborn Michigan. . .

‘til then,

Janice and Dave

Greenfield Village–Dearborn Michigan

I LOVED Henry Ford’s Greenfield Village

now this is my style of museum. . .a Living History Museum. . .

very hands on. . .up close and personal!

and to add to the excitement. . .

there was a Civil War Encampment. . .

adding a lot of excitement to an already great place. . .

we talked to several of the ladies in the camp. . .

they said they do all of their cooking, eating, and sleeping

right there in the tents. . .and that this was one of their best venues,

because they had real restrooms, and even showers. . .

that many of their venues only provide porta potties. . .


They also stated that they loved doing it. . .that is was a great get together. . .

I know they do all this on their own dime. . .

we thanked them repeatedly, and told them how

much we were enjoying the show. . .it was fabulous!

almost authentic? ? ?  LOL. . .

my favorite pic of the day. . .

or maybe this one. . .he was really playing and entertaining the crowd. . .

his pipe smelled soooo good. . .

beautiful costumes. . .

is this adorable or what?

I’m sorry. . .I could never do justice to how really great the entire place was. . .

you’re just gonna haf’ta go see it for yourself!


Although the grounds did not seem crowded,

the sheer number of people inside the buildings

prevented us from touring a lot of them. . .

We did see the glass blowers. . .
(I guess I was so entranced watching them I forgot to take pics)

and several other artisans. . .

Since we didn’t get as many pics of the Village as we would have liked,

I have included links to more images of Greenfield Village

and even MORE fabulous images of Greenfield Village

plus our albums of our favorite things. . .
