Tourist Park Campground Marquette, Michigan
Penny opted to ride to NMU to explore art galleries; I chose to get in some miles on the bike. She had lots to see and enjoyed the exhibits. I rode south on the lakeshore trail about 8.5 miles and returned by the same awesome route. Arriving back at the ITLDO before her, I took off my sweaty shirt, got hydrated and calories, and sat in the lawn chair enjoying the 74F weather.
Penny had one more gallery she wanted to see, so we drove into town to see it 30 minutes before they closed. There was lots of different media on display. Just across the street was Black Rock Brewing where we each sampled a beer and played a ring on a string toss game with a few of the other patrons. It took me at least fifty tries. Penny did it in under ten!
Our plans to attend a presentation on the Depression Era CCC program which helped so many young men off of the streets and into work programs, It was at 7:30 PM at the Ore Dock Brewery; we assumed they would serve food, but no. They had carry out menus from many nearby restaurants. We chose pizza which arrived at 7:25, just in time for the show! The presenter was a well versed, confident speaker and singer who spoke and sang for about 1.5 hours. We were very lucky to have noticed this event in the local newspaper.
