We left Oahe Recreation Area near Pierre, SD, and headed to Minnesota. We spent a couple of days in Barnesville, visiting Kevin and Tammy before heading down the road to Steinbring Motorcoach. Each year Steinbring hosts an owners rally affectionately known as Quartsite North. We enjoyed a pontoon ride, some great food, and a private event at the Legacy of the Lakes Museum. Wow, does that museum have some great boats.

From MN, we headed across northern Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of MI to get to our next appointment at Spartan in Charlotte, MI. It may have been the longer route, but is was much more scenic and far less traffic than trying to go around Chicago.
We spent two nights in the Munising, MI, area. We wanted a day at Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. The weather was cool and pretty windy. We decided to save the boat tour for another time. We settled for a couple of quick hikes. Some day we'd like to spend more time in the UP and along the Lake Superior shoreline. It's beautiful.

An unexpected experience was Iverson Snowshoes, a snowshoe manufacturer in the Munising area. We weren't sure we had the right place at first. It looked like someone's garage. The overwhelming smell of laquer lets you know you're in the right place. The artistry in the snowshoes almost made me want to buy a pair. Eh, maybe not.

Ooohhh, got to have a pasty. It's kind of like a pot pie without the gravy.
Where Are We Going Next?
