First day drive
Saturday, July 13, 2024 5:51 PM
So after a bit of a slow start we’re up at the Island Resort and Casino campground just west of Escanaba, Michigan. The casino is about 3/4 of a mile from the Eastern Time Zone border, and they’ve decided that while on the casino property you will be in Eastern Time, even though our phones think we’re still in Central Time. It’s kind of funny, they have big signs all around warning you of what time it ‘really’ is.
We left late because last night Brian’s debit card was compromised and we had some unauthorized charges, we had canceled the card as soon as we found out but had to get a replacement card before we hit the road.
It was a nice drive north as we avoided the freeways and took country roads. Looks like this years corn crop will be great!
Decided to eat at the casino as it was a bit too hot to cook (90° and humid). As long as we were there we tried our luck at the slots, as usual, Brian lost $15 in a few very short span, while ‘Old Lucky’ ended up leaving with $60.
Tomorrow it’s off to Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. Should be a nice drive through the ‘UP’.
