The
smell of the hay overcame the call of the road. We picked the shortest route
home.
The
Route
We took US-2 a short distance east to I-75, crossed Mackinac Bridge
on I-75 and continued south to US-127 south of Grayling, then followed US-127
to Lansing and I-69 to Marshall. It was a 282 mile trip on some pretty bumpy
highways.
About the Day
We had intermittent rain showers during the night and woke to
overcast skies, cool temperatures and high humidity. The day cleared to mostly
sunny and warmed to 88°.
Along the Way
This day had two highlights for us … crossing Big Mac and arriving
at the night’s campground. The scenes
along Michigan’s highways didn’t change much.
From the UP …

| This sign was an eye catcher. A pastie is a large to medium sized round battered pie common to Northern Ireland. |
Big Mac …

| This is pretty much what we saw. |
Turkeyville …
Two street names caught our attention when we exited I-69 at
Marshall.

15 ½ Mile Road
Neither was creative and the ½ really upset our GPS’ voice
direction.
Turkeyville sponsors lots of community activities. There was a motorcycle
rally and an outdoor concert tonight. There were lots of people and it was lots
of fun.
Turkeyville has a restaurant (all meals include turkey), an ice
cream parlor, a gift shop and fun attractions.
Turkeys roam the grounds.
The Campground
We’re camped at Camp
Turkeyville RV Resort. It’s beautifully designed, well managed and part of
the Cornwell Turkeyville organization.
