We left our Spartan Chassis service appointment in Charlotte, MI, and headed further north in the mitten. We stopped just shy of the Mackinac Bridge and slipped west to Petoskey. We split our stay between
Jellystone Park of Petoskey and
Sun Petoskey Bay Harbor. The area is very scenic and we enjoyed our short visit to the area, riding bikes along the paved trailway, stopping at local parks and scenic lake overlooks. We even caught a short ferry ride.

We were pleasantly surprised to find out the
National Morel Mushroom Festival was being held in nearby Boyne City. We enjoyed the Taste of Morels event, where local restaurants competed in a morel recipe competition. Thankfully, we didn't have to judge. We simply bought tickets and redeemed them for various samples. Yum!

We even saw a few unique crafts as we perused the craft vendors. We saw morel earrings, carvings, and epoxied mushrooms of various types. They certainly had some fun ideas.
