On Monday we departed Ohio and entered Michigan. We pretty much ripped through lower Michigan with just a few rest breaks. While driving north through Michigan 3 river otters crossed the road in front of us.

We arrived in Mackinaw City (the tip of the mitt) in late afternoon. There we settled in at the Odawa Casino for a night of free camping.

Mackinaw City is on the Straits of Mackinac where Lake Michigan and Lake Huron join and is at the southern end of the Mackinac Bridge. Note that the spelling of the city and the geographical features are different, but they are all pronounced the same, with a silent "c". Mackinaw City is said to be the most popular tourist city in the state of Michigan.
We explored town for a while before sunset. We had fish and chips at Scalawags White Fish and Chips and bought an obscene quantity of fudge at Joann's Fudge.
