Day 2 - Niagara Falls to Port Huron

Good morning from Michigan!  Since Toronto got taken off the menu yesterday, we were left with an exta couple of hours of riding time, so we decided to just stop for lunch in London, Ontario, and then move on to Port Huron, MI.  It was a relatively easy, though windy and rather boring, ride.  We did get some great views of Lake Eerie though!  The border crossing took a while, but we were sent through with no problems - having diplomatic plates on the motorcycle really speeds things along!

On the way to Port Huron we stopped to fill up on a few supplies, like chain oil for the bike, and some drinks and dinner.  Then using our trusty G1 phone, we were able to find a nearby state park to camp in, Lakeport.  And what a great find it was!  We're nestled under some trees just a stones throw from Lake Huron.  We managed to set up camp just as a huge thunderstorm rolled in, but Jay was quick getting the tarp up and we teamed up on the tent, and though we got a bit wet, all of our stuffed stayed nice and dry. We rode out the rest of the storm chilling under the tarp with the bike with a couple adult beverages. Thankfully the storm blew over in no time and the rest of the evening was lovely. 

Now we're up and going to enjoy a bit of time here at the park and then it's off to Port Austin to visit the Boomers!  First, though, we'll need to stop at a motorcycle store because a small hole in my glove quickly grew during yesterday's ride!

I've attached pictures of our campsite, the view from our campsite, and the beach.  We took a ton of pictures of Niagara, but sadly didn't think to take any on my phone!  More to come soon (c:
