Cat D-11R – Nicole got me a cool front license plate for my Birthday with me and my Cat D-11R model on it. So if the guy camping by you this summer has one of these on their motorhome there is a pretty good chance it is Deb and i , ha,ha.
Thanks Nicole !!
Soo Locks Camping Trip – We had a great time watching the ships go by the campground and we went down to the locks a couple times and watched a few ships go through the locks nice and close from the new observation tower . It is much nicer than the old one.
Mackinaw City – We timed it just right to be in Mackinaw City just as their Annual Parade was beginning . The town was packed with tourists. It was nice to see all the stores busy selling fudge and popcorn .
Kilwins Chocolates CLOSED – A few of the Kilwins Chocolate stores have closed recently probably due to the slow economy. We were surprised to see two of the Mackinaw City Kilwins Stores Closed and one in Va. .
$23.00 a lb chocolate could be part of the problem. Fancy candy stores continue to raise prices on already overpriced candy and ice cream cones are pushing close to $5.00 each. Our Moonies ice cream store in Gaylord actually weighs every cone and charges you by the lb. That is very strange and expensive.
Alices Carmel Corn- is always a stopping place for us in Mackinaw City. The owner has struggled too recently and now two more brand new large candy stores opening this year and they have very large sections for carmel corn and a variety of other flavors of popcorn. So it is going to be tougher yet for the owner of Alices Carmel Corn this season. He did rearrange the store and it looked very nice.
Two more pictures below this one of our camping weekend.
Have a great Monday and enjoy this one more day God has given us.
