June
- The weather was more unpredictable - cooler, and wetter
- No bugs
- Campground not as crowded
August
- Nice summer weather
- Black biting flies always around
- Campground was packed - many sites had more than one vehicle, and more than one tent. This made the roads in the campground less safe, and the bathrooms more dirty. The campground was still very quiet at night.
We enjoyed our weekend so much. Both my husband and our friends have motorcycles, so we trailered them and brought them with us. One day the four of us jumped on the two motorcycles and enjoyed a ride up Hwy 61, stopping in Beaver Bay for lunch.
Another day we packed a lunch and the 4 of us plus our dogs piled in the pickup and drove up to Grand Marais for the day. It was beautiful!
Each night we had a campfire and roasted marshmallows and made smores. Each morning we had our coffee while looking out at Lake Superior. We walked along the shore, and threw stones in the lake. We simply enjoyed the beauty around us, the company of our friends, and the relaxation that comes with being on vacation.
Here are some pictures from our weekend.
Here is our camper on the right, and our friend's camper on the left.
This was the view from our camper:
Our "motos" - as my grandson would say -
Craig really liked this old logging truck we saw...
We stopped to check out this marina on our way up to Grand Marais.
The rest of these pictures are from Grand Marias. It was a hazy day so the pictures are not as bright as if it had been sunny.
We had such a good time that we made reservations to go back next summer - we're going to try June again.
