Day Six - Rapid River Stealth
Today we crossed the border into our third state, we are now in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Hooray! I've never been in the UP before, though Clair has.
Another cloudy start, but today it stayed that way.
Because we are ahead of schedule we made it into our original destination Escanaba pretty early. While we were there we picked up our bounce box (a piece of mail sent to the post office ahead containing supplies) and changed out the items we had in it. We also went into the local mall to get water and pick up some small supply items (water, and a book for me). The mall part was just because it was accross the street from the P.O.
After that we kept going, and eventually camped out on a random parcel of State Forest a little away from the road and a little away from the lake. The only problem with the camp site was that there was no water, and we had none left. There were no nearby gas stations, and only a local hotel or home or two, so we went a little light on the water that night.
Honestly this wasn't our best night together. A little tired, my attempts at humor just sounded strained and tired, I'm afraid that we were getting on each others nerves a little.
