Day 39 - Port Huron, MI

We decide to take a chance and cut through Ontario to get to Michigan.  I was worried we'd run into issues since the RV is full of food, meat, veggies, dog food, milk, eggs, etc. and they would make us dump it all out.  I did speak with both Canadian and US border agents the day before and both indicated it should not be an issue.  Going through Ontario would save us a couple of hours, so I decided to give it a shot.  Fortunately both crossings were without issue.

The drive through Ontario was very pretty.  We learned that Ontario has a large wine industry near Niagra Falls.  Not sure what kind of wine they produce or what the quality is, so I'll have to do some research.

We got to Port Huron, MI in the middle of the afternoon and headed to the Port Huron KOA.  Good suggestion by Mike Stroven.  Nice campground with lots of activities and things to do.  We were treated to a big thunderstorm not long after we arrived but it cleared up quickly and we were able to have dinner outside and a campfire afterwards.

Our friends Mike and Bonnie Stroven came up to see and and spend the night camping too.  It was great to get caught up with them.  We hadn't seen them in quite some time.  Mike and I used to work together at Phoenix in OR and they moved back to MI in 1999.

Fun sitting around the campfire and of course S'mores were included!

Mike and Bonnie were our guest decal installers for MI.

Tomorrow we head up to the UP of Michigan.  Looking forward to that area of the country.

Here are a few pics.
