I went to visit my parents in Escanaba, MI. They've got a boat in the marina there so we camped on the boat. Sunday morning we had a flash flood; they closed off I-2/41 and Ludington St (main drag downtown) looked like a river, white water and everything. Water up to your knees; higher in spots. Only Delta Cty had a flood warning -- so of course we got blamed for bringing the storms north with us :lol:
That evening we went to a friend's house where we had a "good old fashioned barn raising" (but it was a tent not a barn. Took all 7 seven of us to put it up!) and grill-out.
Monday morning we watched the Memorial Day memorial service from the boat. Then we went to Fayette, which is about an hour east of Escanaba. It's an old iron smelting village from the nineteenth century, and they're restoring parts of it. It was really very interesting, but the sun got to us and I think we didn't spend as much time wandering around as we maybe would have liked.
