We are now settled into our new lot at the Thousand Trail resort at Saint Clair, MI. It is another very nice resort with numerous activities provided by the park. It is located very close to Canada on the Saint Clair River. 

The St. Clair River is a 40.5-mile-long (65.2 km)[1] river in central North America which drains Lake Huron into Lake St Clair, forming part of the international boundary between the Canadian province of Ontario and the U.S. state of Michigan. The river is a significant component in the Great Lakes Waterway, with shipping channels permitting cargo vessels to travel between the upper and lower Great Lakes.

We drove to Port Huron today and found a post office to mail our absentee ballots. I had heard that this waterway was one of the busiest in the world. I must have read wrong as  it was not busy at all. Linda and I watched the traffic on the Rhine River in Germany and THAT is one busy river. It was an interesting trip with turn outs provided to observe the waterway.


The weather is great. It is up to 82 now but the wind is cool. Staying in the shade makes all good.


In the C area here at St Clair there are over 50% of the RVs are from Florida. All friendly. Next to us in a beautiful 2002 Foretravel that absolutely looks brand new,  a Doctor - retired - of orthopedic surgery. He and his wife, Sue are really nice folks. He is form Florida. On the other side is another couple from Florida. Bill and his wife Carol are also from Florida  and good neighbors. This will be a very nice place to be for a couple weeks.
