I got an early start out of Bedrock Campground, after dumping and filling and stoping at the ranger station for camp stickers. Right away I was on the highway, 110 kph, heading SW past Toronto, 5 hours to the US border at Port Huron, then just a few miles to Port Huron Michigan Welcome Center where I aim to park for the night, The traffic was thick, but moving down CA 401. The line of trucks at the border was immense, luckily GPS routed me through Sarnia to the car lane. From there it was about a 30 minute wait. I made sure I cooked all my eggs before crossing the border.Overnight parking at a rest stop is not camping. Everything you do has to pretty much be done inside the vehicle. So, after going for a walk and finding 2 geocaches, I went into town and had dinner at Cracker Barrel.
I was off early the next morning heading west towards Flint, then south to Indiana. I believe it is a point of pride to pay $0 for camping, especially for full time van lifers. So while I was looking for a campground or another rest stop, I cam across the RV Hall of Fame & Museum at Elkhart Indiana. If you pay for the museum entrance fee, you can dry camp for free. They also have electrical hookups for $40. With Military discount, it cost $15 for the museum, plus I spent $10 on stickers. But I camped for free! It was pretty hot when I got there so I took my time in the museum. I think the one I liked the most was the 1928 Pierce-Arrow Fleet Housecar . THe parking lot was vast, plenty if places to park. There was also 3 pretty good geocaches. I going to leave it here for this post. Thanks for visiting. Here are the Michigan - Indiana photo share.
