Drove my chevy to the levy, but the levy was dry

It's 7am and the car is mostly packed already. I am eager to get out of of here. Unfortunately, today involves one last trip to Babcia's for church & brunch, and then bad_influence and I can hit the road. (ETD is 2pm)

It's funny how much smaller the corsica is than the camry, but we're not taking all that much from the house this time. Just a box of books, some costume stuff, and then the tent/sleeping bags & clothes.

Since my passport arrived in time, we're going through Canada, which should be fun and it should give us a chance to see more great lakes and then hit both sides of the falls.

The whole house is still asleep, which makes it easier to get stuff done.

“When the virus of restlessness begins to take possession of a wayward man, and the road away from Here seems broad and straight and sweet, the victim must first find himself a good and sufficient reason for going.” (Steinbeck,Travels with Charley 3-4)

Deer oh dear

So we left my grandmothers around 2:30 then drove to Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore / Indiana Dunes State Park. The chevy got a sticker, I wentswimming and we did some hiking of the dunes. Fun detour.

Camping for the night in Albion, Michigan. Middle of nowhere deer country. Saw five on the road after getting off the highway. One VERY close call with one. Do not wish to christen the car in that way.

Forgot about the timezone shift for a bit too long. All is well. Many Mosquitos.
