   Thanks for the post & picture....looks great.  I keep threatening to head up to Michigan and U.P., but have yet to do so.  I've heard many speak highly of it.  I was looking at the "Porkies" but, the web site indicated they were doing construction/road work in the area, this year.  So, I booked a week in the Rockies.  Now, just North of there - in the Fort Collins area- the place is on fire. 
I'm beginning to feel unlucky.

	We bought a slightly used 2011 Rpod 177 last month and with considerable advice and much info from this forum we were ready for our maiden voyage to Grand Marais, MI on the south shore of Lake Superior. It was a great trip. Everything worked. We got 15.7 mpg with the tail wind going 250 miles east, and 13.5 mpg into a strong headwind coming home today. Our TV is a 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee V-6. Now looking forward to a few more such short trips this summer in the Upper Peninsula and northern Wisconsin near Lake Superior, and then off to the races next summer. Thanks again everyone who raises questions, and provides responses, on this forum. You're good people to know! Roy & Deb (and Coco the Small Munsterlander Pointer)
