Links of interest

Thumb area tourism council:

Great Lakes Maritime Center in nearby Port Huron:

City of Port Huron:

Michigan Dept of Natural Resources - Lakeport State Park:

Lighthouse Tour Planner:

Serious freighter watchers will want a copy of the freighter bible "Know Your Ships."

Quay Street Brewing Company in Port Huron. Get an outside seat and watch the river traffic:

Great local PBS program with lots of info and photos on their web site. Free program DVDs too:

Outdoor Michigan:
Michigan history, birds, trees, mammals, and recipes. Also famous Michiganders. Yes, that's what we call ourselves. Wonder if the recipes use the mammals?

I'll add links as I come across them.

I've had some good folks from down south that are not familiar with the area express concern about driving through Detroit on the way to this roundup. I would say that if you've driven through Atlanta it should be no big deal. It's all Interstate highway going through Detroit and only about half the lanes that there are in Atlanta.

Fear not!

Sounds good! I think it will work into our summer plans very well as we expect to be in Ontario around that time.

Tomorrow is the first day to make reservations for this roundup. Follow the link, then click on the tiny tiny print that says "make a reservation at this park."

Where are people camping in the campgrounds?  Can we try to get in the same location?

Click on the link in my previous post and you can then view a unit map. You'll see there's two campgrounds. We'd planned on the north campground in the north unit, cleverly named "campground" on the map. It has volleyball nets, horseshoe pits, a playground, store, and easy beach access. We're going to go for a site on the outside of the park, hopefully on the east side closer to the beach. Once we get our reservation we'll post the site number. 

If you all want to share your site numbers I'll make up a map showing where we're all at.

Informal schedule for roundup. We're keeping it loose and open, times to follow. There's lots to see in the area and the beach is great, so we're allowing for lots of personal time.

Friday evening: Meet & Greet at HuronSailor's site. Campfire will be provided, bring your own beverage. Introduce yourselves and tell stories.

Saturday evening: Hot dog roast/pot luck at HuronSailor's site. Campfire and a dish to pass will be provided. Bring your own dogs and a dish to share. Nothin' fancy.
