Here we are with our friends, Warner and Phoebee, whom we first met on a Mexican Caravan in 2008. We stopped at the end of Mission Peninsula near our place, where the Peninsula meets Lake Michigan. We are standing at the 45th Parallel--halfway between the North Pole and the Equator.
Later we took them sightseeing and went for lunch at the little fishing town of Leland. The original downtown by the river emptying into Lake Michigan is the original Fish Town, where the salmon fishing fleet arrives with its cargo. Above you see the very unusual fishing boats made of steel. They have a fully enclosed deck that can be heated in the winter and that allows the crew to deploy a large fishing net from the rear doors. I can imagine that this type of commercial fishing boat can be battened down to cope with the violent winter gales in Lake Michigan.
Our friends, were in route from the Texas Hill Country to visit relatives in Pennsylvania so they took a "little" detour to visit us in northern Michigan at Traverse Bay RV Resort, our summer home. They traveled in their Class B RV with their cat, Greta.
This little RV is completely self contained with bathroom, shower kitchen, bed, satellite TV, refrigerator Air Conditioning and Heating, Hot and Cold water, and generates its own electricity too. It is built for little people though. It goes for about $110-$120K. Here we had it taking electricity from our site so Greta could enjoy Air Conditioning without having the RV generator on all that time.
