Grayling

After crossing the Mackinac Bridge, we saw Mackinaw City...it is a town we would like to explore on our next visit. To get to Grayling Army National Guard Camp, we drove I-75 to the first Grayling exit. Bob wanted to top off Sol's tank before heading to the campground. We found a diesel station right in town that was a convenient in and out stop. Then it was on to the campground. We got a site not far from Larry and Connie. After we were all set up, we went for a drive.

We just happened on an historical artillery firing competition. The participants were dressed in period costumes.

It was a fun competition to watch and you really had to look carefully to see the shell hit. I kept watching the firing, Bob watched for the shell to hit. It was a windy day and a couple of the targets blew over. No one could go downrange to right them as the Army National Guard was firing on another nearby range.

We only spent one night at Grayling. We enjoyed the full hook-ups and cable at the campground. The next morning, we were on the road to Bay City, Michigan, to do more exploring.
