Cape Cod Trip - Day 5

Took it (relatively) easy today. Spent the morning showing Nicky around the campus. Took her to the Grotto, my old classrooms and to my dorm. We stopped by the bookstore, of course (1330L). As we were leaving town, I drove Nicky over to my old place in South Bend (near the Ethanol Plant). We used US-31 to get to Niles, Michigan, and then took various state roads until we were on US-131. In Kalamazoo, got on I-94. Switched to I-69 and drove north towards Lansing. Had dinner along the Interstate (Taco Bell) and then drove all the way to Port Huron. Got gas before "off-roading" for a bit (Nicky did NOT like this) to locate Lakeport State Park (right on Lake Huron!). Got a campsite (2130L) and then started working on setting up the tent. Turned out to be easy, but is it COLD. We didn't bring clothes for these temperatures, either. Nicky's happy day in South Bend is now a distant memory...
