We camped at Lake Michigan, drove through Ishpening and are now at the
Porcupine Mountains State Wilderness Area.

Mary Stebbins Taitt said...: Yes, it's a chipmunk, which is a variety of ground squirrel. The chipmunks were VERY tame up in the porkies and would eat peanuts right out of our hands.

We just got home and I have a lot of catching up to do. Please bear with me! We had almost no internet connection on the trip and one time we did, it cut out before I finished.; July 22, 2008 at 1:00 PM
Mary Stebbins Taitt said...: Kathe, we were the one ones waving from the old blue freighter (Grand Marquis)--my husband had hugely long legs or we'd prefer a smaller car. Good for lots of camping gear though.

We LOVED the Porkies!!! Are you a Yooper?; July 22, 2008 at 1:02 PM
