Glenn Arbor 9/20/10

We stayed at the DH Day campground just a mile or two from Glenn Arbor, a beautiful little lake town. We were surprised to be able to get a site with electricity, 50amps no less, because I thought it would be dry camping only. The site was wooded and a tight fit for the motorhome but after a couple of tries we got it backed in correctly. On the dog walk around the campground Dagmar met a German couple that was in a rented RV. They started in Chicago and went all the way to the Upper Peninsula  and were coming back  down  to Chicago. Their English wasn't very good, but they said people everywhere in the States were so helpful they really had no trouble. Later that evening we had a nice fire before heading for bed. The next morning we decided to go canoeing, or as it turned out kayaking, so we stopped at Crystal River Outfitters and rented a kayak. They took us upstream for a 7 mile, 3 hr float back to their store. The scenery was awesome, quiet and serene and the water crystal clear. This was my (Dagmar) first float trip ever and I was hooked!  We saw 11 Salmon swimming upstream to their spawning grounds. It was great but we have no pictures because I wasn't willing to risk loosing my phone to the Crystal River. We'll look for a new camera in Traverse City which is where we are heading next.
