Pure Michigan?

Day 287
​Toledo OH- Monroe MI

Leaving Toledo was an easy thing to do. There wasn't much there to see. Penny heads north along the coast of Lake Eerie towards the next destination on the trip. We are aiming for William C Sterling State Park. It's the closest state park to Detroit that we can stay at. What I wasn't expecting was the extra money we had to spend when we got there. A nice lady at the park check in explained it would be $9 a day for a park pass on top of the camping fee. This included today, the next day, and the day we would check out. Not enough you say? No problem. They also tacked on $7 for the jeep as an extra vehicle. Total cost for two nights in Michigan: $90. At least the view is nice.

I must have been paying attention when I booked this place months ago. The spot we secured was closest to the beach. A clear view of Lake Eerie is out the window for us to behold. A well picked up and manicured beach is for us to walk down complete with cloud generators in the background.​
Picture
Those cloud generators are actually the cooling towers of the Enrico Fermi Nuclear Power Plant. A electricity facility built in 2007 to the tune of 6.1 billion dollars. This is a fine first time view of our time in Michigan.

It's time to set up camp and get ourselves comfortable. The cat gets put outside. A push of a button lets the electric awning come out. I'll get the chairs out and we'll look south for a new view of the area. Another cloud machine is creating animal figures in the sky. DTE energy has a coal powered plant putting out power for the area near us.
Picture
As exciting as the view is life still goes on. We pack up our dirty laundry and head into town to find a place to wash our things. I'll share with you a smiling selfie of us. We are both thrilled at the hope that this will be the last time we need to go to a laundromat. Life on the road. Six days to go.
