Day 2 at Wells

The mosquitoes descended upon us last night and drove me into the Scamp at dusk. The morning sunrise was quiet and windless. The skies were hazy with smoke from the Canadian fires.


For breakfast, I prepared Krusties blueberry pancakes, which I will not do again. The blueberry “chips” left a film on the tops of our mouths, which made me guess that the blueberries may have been developed in a lab instead of on a bush. 

After breakfast, we took a long walk on the shore. A pleasant offshore breeze kept the mosquitoes down.



Wells is a very nice Michigan state park and uncrowded on a Monday morning. One can venture into the woods.


Or play a game of horseshoes.


We would stay here again (on a weekday).

Wouldjou look at that form! The stance! The determination. It's a RINGER!!!!

Is that a regulation distance? It looks farther than usual.

Mosquitoes here too! It's an exceptionally wet Spring. Snow melt has the Humboldt River threatening to flood.

It felt like regulation distance. The angle of the camera and shadow make it seem longer. All of the Michigan state parks on this trip have horseshoes. During my first summer as a lawyer, I played in a clay pit horseshoe bar league with my brother-in-law Scott. We weren’t especially good, but we had fun.
