Yeah, it is. I tried capturing it with the camera, but it didn't turn out. We stayed there during a storm night, the clouds rolling in over unlit Lake Huron is probably the blackest thing that I have ever seen. No light at all except the town behind us and the two beacons over by Mackinac Island. Freaky for this land lubber.

Luke fell behind on his skid plate maintenance and wound up stranded in the woods. Dave and I both diverted to rescue him. After all day on the road I'm only 2 hrs away from my house.

Adventure starts now!

We take lots of pictures. Nothing new there.

So anybody wondering what was wrong with my truck? The solution required extreme technical proficiency.

Change of plans for trip start. We will be at Adventure tonight and in Porcupine Mountains tomorrow. Anybody planning to join us on Thursday should get ahold of us!
