We departed from Kreher RV Park at 11:00AM CDT and headed East to Tourist Park Campground in Marquette, MI (183 miles). We continued East on US-2 and then picked up MI-28 and took it to US-41. We took US-41 all the way to the Walmart in Marquette. The roads were all good. We stopped for lunch at a nice shady Rest Area along MI-28 because there’s zero fast food between Ashland, WI and Ishpeming, MI (168 miles). There are, however, lots of trees. We also saw lots of campers throughout the drive. It’s definitely a Friday in the Upper Peninsula and the Yoopers were all heading out camping for the weekend. This campground is completely full (all 110 sites).
We arrived at Tourst Park Campground around 3:30PM CDT. This is another city campground and the sites are Electric only. However, they do provide Wi-Fi and so far it appears to be fairly strong (we’ll see what happens when everyone is streaming this evening). It’s a little hot (pronounced “hawt”) for the Yoopers as the temperature got up to 82 today.
