Day 23 - Wild West Saga


We left Rhinelander this morning on our way to Gladstone MI. We woke up next to a cemetery… that is a first. The sun was shining and we only had about 3 hours to drive plus a 1 hour time difference. The colors were gorgeous. We have really been lucky in that we have hit the colors at their peak!

We arrived at Lindberg’s Cove Resort (Jeannie & Arda rode together across the US) mid-afternoon and were able to park our RV in their driveway. In fact they even gave us a front row seat to the lake… just as beautiful as ever.
That evening John & Jeannie treated us to the Fur-Ball Dinner/Auction/Dance. The Fur-Ball is a fund raiser held every 2 years for Delta Area Animal Shelter. A couple of police dogs put on a couple of demonstrations (little things like ATTACK (good job the guy had the suit on), finding things (no he did not find WD as a cadaver J), etc.)
The dinner was excellent and WD ate too much as it was buffet style. We bid on a couple of items but lost out to last minute bidders… one was a casino package so I guess you can’t win them all – HA!
   
After the auction finished, dancing started and that is when Wrangler Dave and Astonishing Arda made their exit… of course John and Jeannie weren’t in a dancing mode either.
 
Tomorrow it is off to the Mackinaw bridge area…
