We are staying at Apostle Islands Area Campground. It’s very green and no black flies! 

Checked out a couple of wineries in the Leelanau Peninsula AVA, one of Michigan’s four AVAs. I bought some Gruner veltliner and Pinot blanc, unusual finds, as well as unbaked Chardonnay, Pinot noir, Pinot Gris, rose of Pinot noir, Gewürztraminer, Cabernet franc, and a red blend.

Visited Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore 

A down day in Michigan woods after visit to Munson Community Healthcare Center in Traverse City to stock up on heavy duty cough medicine. I’d hope to do wine tasting here on the Leelanau Peninsula – 25 wineries – but get up and go got up and left. We’ve had some good fish – walleye, perch, smelt, and steelhead.

Staying at the Kal-Haven RV Park.

View from Captain Lou’s restaurant (a very jolly place) during dinner on the 23rd.

We’ve just arrived at John Bryan to begin our. Week at Antioch – first volunteering to fix up the campus, then for the reunion and first commencement of the newly reopened college. It’s about 2 pm and there is a severe thunderstorm watch until 9 pm. Maybe the rain will cool things down. Quite a change from the 5300′ campground in the Smokies.

1. Leaving the coolth, we drove through Tennessee, Kentucky, into Ohio. All the way was green and beautiful. And warm. Sitting outside now at the park listening to Prairie Home Companion with a little breeze.
2.   

5300′, cool, rhodedrons, mountain laurel, azaleas.  Visited Mingus grist mill and mountain farm museum. So green, so vibrant. Most of park visitors are in the TN (north) side. We were lucky to stay in two uncrowded campgrounds – uncrowded because they are out of the way.

Lovely campground, mostly tent campers. Max RV length 25′. Huzzah. Heavy rain in the afternoon cooled it to wonderful 70s for excellent sleeping.
