It was a spectacular morning, so we decided to hike the Lakeshore Trail. This trail surrounds the campground. It was nice, but we found an amazing trail that followed the Lake Erie shoreline that allowed dogs on the beach. Walking, wading, and splashing through the hike, we enjoyed the water and the views that were afforded by this path. Afterwards, we packed up the wet and tired pups and drove to Michigan's Bay City State Park.

Nice campground when we showed up, but it filled up fast as it was a Friday night and Michigan families like to have fun. I think there were only about 10 sites that had one vehicle. The rest had 2 or more and/or boats and/or tents. Most people were quite friendly, and had similar opinions concerning their governor as we do with ours. The site was huge so we put out our awning and tablecloth and considered ourselves as posh as the next bunch of campers. Lots of campfires and laughter, but as darkness fell and the mosquitoes started hunting, everything settled down quickly.
