The GPS pointed us to Oscar’s Restaurant only a few miles away. I had Hash with Eggs. The hash was prepared with lightly corned beef that was sliced then shredded. Mary had her eggs with Peameal Bacon . We found out that Peameal bacon is side bacon. Kind of like Canadian bacon in the states but this was thicker and had a very good flavor.
The Roadtrek factory tour was great. It took more than two hours to cover all the steps that go into making one of these vans. Sorry, no pictures. Roadtrek’s 135 employees turn out about 500 vans per month but their backlog keeps growing since the price of gas climbed over $2.50 per gallon. A few years ago they were able to build vans for dealer inventory. Now, they only built-to-order because the demand is so great.
We showed our guide, Tupper, the mods we made to our van and he called out one of the engineers to look at the sliding shelves. We may see that feature in vans some day.
Crossing back into the US at the Port Huron entry was also easy. Cars were routed separately. The truck line had many trucks whereas the car line had few and moved quickly.
We camped at Lakeport State Campground located a few miles north of Port Huron. It cost $31 because we have to pay an out of state entry fee of $8 just to enter the park. At least we were able to touch our third Great Lake… Lake Huron. Only two more lakes to go.
Tornado warnings were issued for northeast of here. We had high winds and rain showers. A small branch blow down from a tree and hit the window on the top of the van with a thunderous bang.
