August 12, 2014 – Munising to Houlton, Michigan

After a night of off-and-on rain, a cool dreary morning mist greeted us as we began to get our coaches ready to hit the road. While the routine functions went smoothly, our steps are still a problem and need to be bungeed to prevent them from extending while underway.

Heading west through Munising, the low ceiling was readily apparent.
Leaving Munising - 2014-08-12Meanwhile, Mother Nature was no doubt having fun with us as her winds off Lake Superior not only were kicking up white-capped waves but the gusts also buffeted our motorhome.

Big Gus, which is 23 feet long and is powered by a V-8 engine. The large chain cycles with a terrifying rumble, though restrained from being fully revved up! and World’s Largest Rifle

and the World’s Largest Rifle

Big Ernie, 33’ 4” long, once fired a makeshift bullet (a duct-tape wrapped rock) into a corn field, 2.5 miles away! The recoil, as the story goes, knocked the Big Rifle off of the truck it’s mounted on. Meanwhile, the shockwave broke windows at the nearest farmhouse!

our drive across the central UP was generally devoid of the usual tourist shops and, although punctuated by an occasional small village and two small cities, was most often tree-lined

Still, the steps were of prime concern. Although, after several exchanges of emails with the manufacturer and Dave and I spending an hour of trying to trouble-shoot the problem
