Silver Lake campground is very popular. We had our reservations in months in advance. |
Our campsite: a screen room, popup with attached screen room and a tent |
(From my iPhone) - Although this looks like a regular fifth wheel in front of another RV, it is actually a single RV (with a pop out open at the back end). Note that there are 3 axles on the RV. |
The dunes were across from the campground. |
While baking salmon in a Coleman oven on top of a Coleman stove, a fire was followed by a large explosion. I didn't realize that a butane lighter was stuck to the inside of the stove. The fire was from burning plastic, the explosion from the butane tank. This happened in the popup's screen room. Fortunately, nothing else caught fire. |
We sat at lakeside every night to see the sun go down. |
And, we also saw the moon shortly afterward. |
On a day trip, we first stopped at a beach on Lake Michigan. |
We then stopped to see the tallest lighthouse on the eastern shore of Lake Michigan. It is 108 feet tall. |
|
The original brick was painted white to make it visible to ships when the point was covered with trees. | |
On past trips, I have climbed to the top of several lighthouses. Unfortunately, I had a problem with my permanent vertigo on the previous day, so Kathy (who is afraid of heights) agreed to go to the top and take some photos. | |
My car is the first one on the left in the far row. | |
Kathy looks cool and calm in this photo, but she is hanging on to the railing for dear life and faking a smile for the camera. | She was rewarded with this when she descended. |
The architecture is reminiscent of a church. | |
Our last evening watching the sun set. | |
That's it for this trip. Stop by again. |
