Chilly Halloween Weekend
Took off work early on Friday, dropped my little trailer on the ball of my truck and headed North.
Following US31 along the coast line, I was treated to some towns lucky enough to have a few inches of snow on the ground already, and got to drive through some near white-out conditions... maybe this season will be a repeat of last year?
I arrived at Wilderness State Park outside Mackinaw City and was surprised to find that I'm the only one here. I haven't gone over to the newer inland loop, but the lake shore loops are empty.
Friday it was 28-29F and a 40-50 mph wind from the North off Lake Michigan... after fighting with the hitch ball not wanting to let go, I was too cold to mess with the stab jacks until this morning. This morning the wind has died down and the clouds have parted - was down to about 15F but now is closer to 30.
Hoping for some good star watching tonight next to a big camp fire.
