New England starts in Michigan

After we returned from Florida, Connie thought that there might have been a leak in the roof of the trailer. While sitting beneath the trees during rainstorms, we heard a definite drip around the refrigerator.

Since we were at home and it was warm now, I decided to replace the seal around the sewer pipe because it looked bad. Then we decided to replace the seals around the windows because they look bad. Then we decided to wash and wax the trailer because it looked bad. And while we were at it we needed to repack the bearings. May was a working month.

May 30 We left for Michigan with trailer in tow. But the first thing we did was stop for breakfast at Waffle House in Wapakanetta. To our delight, we ran into the Shofstalls. It was good to catch up on news about kids. Ryan, their son, graduated with Phil, our son.

The trip to MI was to fish the infamous AuSable river. Checked in to the local tackle shop to get flies, advice, and a license. Plan was to be on the water the next morning, so we drove around and scoped out the sites I would be fishing. 

The next morning it was pouring. So we went to a local fishing shack for lunch, right beside the famous AuSable river. But, they did not serve fish. Go figure. 

We were on a timetable. So we had to leave for Canada the next morning. Fishing the AuSable would have to wait. 

The entrance into Canada was without incident, except I fumbled all the questions, had trouble finding our passports in the glove compartment. I thought for sure we are going to get picked up for our contraband apples in the trailer. I think the lady customs agent profiled us as dumb tourists. 

Traveling through Canada is almost exactly like traveling through New York. The only difference was the speed limit signs. 

Our camping site that night was adequate even though the area had more rain then they could drain. It was a little wet.  Connie took this picture but we don't have a picture of the site. 

The campground was a waterpark with an attached trailer park. No one was there because the season had not started. We left the trailer attached so we could leave early.

If you don't believe we were in Canada, Connie took this picture to prove our travels.

We entered the US on the east side of Lake Ontario. The pass through customs was no big deal although I got a nosebleed driving over the bridge into the US. It was a little high. We knew where our passports were and I did not say anything about the apples. 

We stayed at a campground near Chateaugay NY. Pretty site. No pics. Guess I was tired. Not many campers. Again it was before the season started. I would like to return with time to fish. 

If you don't recognize the town, it was visited by two famous prison escapees short time after we were there. Story goes that they slept in the same site where we camped. Story goes...
