Rhinelander, Michigan

We are now in Rhinelander, Michigan.  Three of the ten RVer's went West from Duluth so we are down to seven RV's!  We are camped on Lake George, a normal size lake (LOL after seeing the Great Lakes)!  We all went out to dinner together last night at a local restaurant on the other side of the lake (5 miles).  We had an enjoyable evening and got home at dusk.  I had taken a picture of the lake when we got here and the sun was setting so I took a couple of more pictures!  

Today we went to the town of Rhinelander and went to the County Fair!  They had a 4-H section, rides, food and a few booths set up to buy things.  We got there in time to see the 4 and 5 year-olds participate in a tractor pull!  It was really cute and they tried their hardest!


We ran into Anne-Marie and Ken while there and the four of us decided to go to lunch.  Near the restaurant was a Rhinelander Hodag, the Rhinelander symbol.  The origins date back to 1893 when a prankster reported a mythical creature with the head of a frog, face of a giant elephant, thick short legs set off by huge claws, the back of a dinosaur and a long tail with a spear on the end!  We had lunch in a local restaurant.


We drove around town and noticed again, how beautiful the flowers are.  So many towns have baskets of flowers or hanging flowers and they really dress up a down town!


Tomorrow we leave here and will go back to Michigan and the last stop on the Rolling Rally, Gladstone, Michigan.  We will spend two nights and then on Monday Ted and I start heading West with a few stops before getting to Chama, New Mexico.  We will be pushing it but are going to try to be there on the 13th of August!



Moving right along..."Ain't Life Grand!"
